New York City has a long list of places where you can get a great pastrami sandwich but S&P Lunch, the historic luncheonette located across the street from the iconic Flatiron building not only serves one for under $20 but you can enjoy it on old-fashioned rye bread with a pickle served on the side, at their long lunch counter, bumping elbow-to-elbow with the person sitting next to you while watching the theater of each station move in the kitchen. It’s a real New York experience and one we really love and highly recommend. (Swipe left for 2nd interior photo of lunch counter). S&P Lunch was reopened in 2022 by Eric Finkelstein and Matt Ross in the longtime home of Eisenberg’s. (Swipe left for 3rd exterior photo). The team lovingly preserved the original sandwich shop which dates back to 1928, and serves dishes that approximate the past without romanticizing it. Its narrow interior is dominated by a vintage long lunch counter complete with twenty low swivel stools. The original wooden, mirrored back bar displays the daily specials and soups listed on changeable boards and a dual Tostato Ottimo flat grill is used to make a variety of grilled sandwiches, including a classic tuna melt, which we also recommend.

it’s 80°F, it’s dog day, and we’re having @sandplunch over!

we’re entering our final month of hot dog service (last call is halloween!) and figured we’d kick off the beginning of the end with an all timer:

the @sandplunch PLATTSBURGH. a Coney Island-style chili dog ladled with ground beef chili, squirt of yellow mustard, and diced white onion. comes with a pickle.

the franks are always all-beef and they come on our squishy housemade potato buns. rumor has it this dog may have induced labor for a close friend of the bakery… proceed accordingly!

now serving:
• fri 10/2 (today!): noon til 10pm *closed 5–5:30 to reset • sat 10/3: noon–5pm *until sold out

rounding out the menu: elbow’s classic (braised kraut, pushcart onions, deli mustard) and a bratwurst special… details at the counter!

veggie dogs available (: taken in Elbow Bread by @sandplunch

A Formica counter. A crispy $17 tuna melt. Golden latkes. Hot coffee. Where Jewish deli traditions meet classic American lunch in an old school vibe. S&P (@sandplunch) doesn’t recreate old New York, it simply never let it disappear

Tis the season...hot dog season that is, and on a rainy day in the summertime the Plattsburgh (a perfect chili dog) from @sandplunch is the trick to brighter lunchtime, - best enjoyed with their top tier tuna melt and a side of onion rings🌭🌭🌭 #sandplunch #tunamelt #hotdog #chilidog #nyclunch taken in S&P Lunch by @sandplunch

Bursting with love for @sandplunch and our new mini doc in @nytcooking 🥲 I’d follow @kirstynbrewer into battle, and that’s exactly what happens every shift. In a world of bullshit jobs, it’s a privilege to work at a job with no bullshit. Feels like living in a time gone by, but it’s here, and it’s for you, it’s not going anywhere.

There’s something deeply comforting about a counter seat at @sandplunch 🥪 Grab a stool, order the tuna melt, and make sure there’s a little mustard on every bite 🥞 Between the single-serve pancake and the perfectly no-frills atmosphere, it’s a place that’s existed in NYC forever
