S&P Lunch

"James Cameron’s Aliens. Bladerunner 2049. Dune starring Timothée Chalamet. You might be wondering, “Why are these crackpots talking about science fiction reboots on a sandwich guide?” That’s because they, like S&P Lunch from the people behind Court Street Grocers, took a beloved 20th-century classic, and revived it. S&P has the look and schtick of classic NYC delis and luncheonettes, but a menu that has the creativity that put Court Street Grocers on the map in the first place. The Order: For novelty, try the Dinkelburger—a burger with a piece of pastrami on top. But we actually like the classic pastrami on rye even more." - will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, bryan kim, sonal shah, molly fitzpatrick

"S&P Lunch is from the sandwich specialists at Court Street Grocers. It’s located in the space that used to house the iconic Eisenberg’s in Flatiron, and, like its predecessor, it looks like an old-timey luncheonette where you'd drink an egg cream and read the paper. You can do both of those things here, and you can also sit on a vinyl stool and eat some lox and eggs while hunched over a counter. If you want to feel like you’re on the way to work in 1935, stop by for some diner-esque Jewish deli classics. The egg and cheese breakfast sandwich with added pastrami on toasted rye is particularly great. " - bryan kim, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah

"Eiesenberg’s, a sandwich shop open since 1929, was a tough act to follow. Fortunately, S&P stayed true to the old-school spirit of its predecessor, offering an expansive menu of lunchtime staples in its pretty much unchanged, narrow, diner-like space. On weekend afternoons, folks line up to eat eggs with lox or a pastrami-topped burger on a swiveling stool up front, or on a vinyl banquette in the back. Keep in mind, the restaurant closes at 5pm." - bryan kim, hannah albertine

"This year has become the year of the modern luncheonette: S&P is one of the forerunners of the group, a counter-service restaurant from the team behind the sandwich shop at Court Street Grocers. The menu is stocked with tuna melts, peanut butter bacon with rye, cottage fries, and egg creams: Few places feel more New York." - Eater Staff

"Eric Finkelstein and Matt Ross, the owners of Court Street Grocers, are behind S&P, a restaurant located in the former home of Eisenberg’s, one of Manhattan’s last old-school lunch counters that closed during the pandemic. For breakfast from 8 a.m. to noon weekdays and all day weekends, there’s pork roll egg and cheese; matzo brei; a Denver omelet; and the Lil’ Shonda, with scrambled eggs, pastrami, muenster, and pickled tomato on rye." - Eater Staff
