“ It is hard to decide between Eisenberg's near the Flatiron building and Katz's on the Lower East Side when it comes to choosing a personal favorite New York City deli, but what Eisenberg's has going for it is character. The Russian bookstore upstairs is long gone, but it is remarkable that this deli on the East side has remained and is still going strong after many years. The turkey sandwich I tried here was delicious. ”
“ Love these bagels! Order ahead or be prepared for a long wait on the weekends. My go to is the everything bagel. Their cold brew is also super strong and delicious! ”
“ Classic Jewish comfort food - ya can't beat that! I've worked in the area for several years and somehow just tried Eisenberg's for the first time. It's safe to say that I'll be back very soon. I started off with some matzah ball soup (partially because it was a chilly day, partially because I won't pass this up if I see it on a menu). For five dollars the bowl is pretty large and comes with one very plump matzah ball, chicken, noodles and carrots. The broth was flavorful and only needed a little bit of pepper to liven it up. I also tried an order of latkes. A side is 3 dollars and comes with one pretty large latke and a side of sour cream and applesauce. The latke is perfection. Perfectly crispy and golden fried. Homemade potato pancakes are a pain to make and the frozen guys just don't taste the same, so it's nice to know that I can grab one at Eisenberg's when I have a craving. I snuck a bite of a pastrami sandwich which was tasty but not amazing (certainly not the best pastrami that you'll have in NYC - and most of us agreed). The pastrami was a bit burnt. But the sandwich was still very good and came stuffed with a ton of meat. So while this is no Katz's, Eisenberg offers a classic homemade Jewish meal / diner experience. This is a great place to visit if you are looking to satisfy that type of craving. ”
