Frequently asked questions
What should I order at S&P Lunch?
The tuna melt or pastrami, a half sour pickle and an egg cream. Breakfast at the counter is the local secret window.
Is S&P the same as the old Eisenberg's?
New owners, same counter, same spirit, better ingredients. Old regulars mostly approve, which is the highest bar there is.
When is the quietest time to get a stool?
Breakfast, which regulars treat as the secret window. Lunch fills with the Flatiron office crowd and the counter has no waiting area to speak of.
