Classic Flatiron deli with excellent pastrami, matzo ball soup, and counter charm; prices fair-to-high for Manhattan, with occasional portion complaints.
Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop delivers solid neighborhood deli quality anchored by excellent food quality and strong service attentiveness, with genuine NYC institution status and loyal following. Limited seating and cramped conditions during peak hours, combined with occasional consistency variation in portions, prevent a higher grade despite authentic charm and reliable execution of classic sandwiches and soups.
One caveat: Portion complaints on some sandwiches, especially meat quantity
