‘The Last Human Restaurant in New York’ | Sandwich City | NYT Cooking
Video Overview & Insights
Under one name or another, this old-school lunch counter has been frying eggs and frothing egg creams on the same site, across from the Flatiron Building, since 1928. We went behind the scenes at S & P Lunch, a Depression-era luncheonette long occupied by Eisenberg’s Sandwich Shop, where generations of New Yorkers have dined.
"The Last Human Restaurant in New York" makes it sound like you eat humans here
Of the three or four dozen things to eat at S & P Lunch, most are sandwiches. The classic sandwiches on the menu — like the tuna melt, of which they make as many as 400 a day — look as iconic as S & P itself. Almost everything is served simply, with a pickle on the plate or between the bread.
“It’s not that simple, inexpensive lunch places don’t exist anymore,” Pete Wells wrote in 2022. “They do, but they tend to be chains, and they almost never offer the particular urban experience that you can get at S & P. There and at a few other surviving relics, you can sit down and rub elbows with strangers, ask one of them to pass the ketchup. You’re somebody, because you’re at the counter, but you’re anonymous. You can join the conversation or eavesdrop, depending on your mood.” Read his full review: https://nyti.ms/44D1Z41

I hear a lot of "everyone in NY is rude." and "In NY everyone is rushed.". I saw none of that from this video. Nothing but beautiful smiles and warm welcomes. I live in Dallas (which is supposed to be a super welcoming city and we are for the most part) and I been to NY to work but not to chill. This place more than any makes me wanna visit! Only sandwich shop I been to up there is Katz and they were all right but certainly fit the stereotype.

That's not tuna salad. That's tuna & mayo.

That grill press is super nasty. Come on
@spelt5664Women are the best
@xoeyfourrYou mean, they serve humans ? The food is people?
@perfectomprgPeople are willing to pay $18 for a tuna melt sandwich just for the human connection. New York City is a very lonely place.
@kevinlalka5612This is like a breath of fresh air seeing this place. I am really starting not to like AI and seeing it everywhere. I think that the human race and the planet would be much better off without AI. Stop the AI before it's too late. I almost forgot... I love Jodi! :D
@ryukazumi796Seems like this channel favors promoting restaurants owned by people of a certain religious group.
@grrCHOMPdBefore everything became a private equity "play".
@gooddays1001-e4bOyyyy veyyyyy $18 usd for 5 bites of a basic tuna sandwich 😂😂😂
@TezzE-o2cas a long-time customer, I resent how they changed this menu with the ownership change..but ill still go cause I love it and its really special
@MikelWashDelicious professional talent
@ThanhNguyen-x3j3j3:53 God damn!
@personalsighThank you @NYTCooking for this great tribute and behind the scenes look at S&P's. Beautifully produced and edited, it brings the TRUE New York front and center where it belongs. I hope everyone who watches this makes the time to stop in and order a sandwich. The food is terrific and the experience is priceless. It is the real deal!
@FlyLikeAnEagle777So do they serve human meat ? At this human restaurant,
@nicholastate9486Four slices of cheese!? That too American chesse? Nope!
@thegooner1102It’s funny how it’s called “rye” bread even when the rye flour content is less than 50%..when we say rye bread in Europe, it’s most part rye or all rye..
@pelakfulAll the tips and profits go to fund genocide in gaza!!
@ukissrulezLooks like a place where you couldn’t wear a MAGA hat.
@roofless1440Beautifully shot and lit in a way that makes you feel as if you're almost there.
@squirrel4810Dukes though!! Love it!!
@burksregime315McLovin was there! epic place!
@onepiecelegendsLove that they have a sandwich called The Mel Brooks, Roast Turkey, 1 Slice Corned Beef,
Mustard, Slaw & Russian on Rye. 💙👏👍
God I want to go
@yungwater3I'm not watching a video about a cannibal restaurant. Reported.
@xYahwehxlast place in the whole city serving human meat? look what they done to us 😔
@matlawThat tuna melt looks disgusting.
@jacksonruby127Clean? The mayo is loaded with soybean oil and corn syrup.
@LastDays7300? Entirely too much tuna
@racecardriver42069Isn't Genova tuna the brand that recently had the recall?
@ep8755THE tuna melt.
@Kevin9687I'm literally on their website and it says NY locations temporarily closed??? Why even post this?!
@LiangJessieI don't see how a $17 tuna sandwich reflects the depression era, are you kidding me?
@echorchamber4152What do the other restaurants use???
@SolarizeYourLifeThe tuna melt looks amazing also no sides like fries or potato salad
@cartman4885You guys should check out Deli Board in San Francisco!
@BrusselgriffonrbestdogYou made it wrong. Shred the cheese and mix it in the tuna, hillbilly hack.
@Jamey-j3xApparently Eisenberg's os closed.
@narvulthis is my lunch spot 🤫
@HiimMissieright near my office, been in the area 10 years. Amazing the places you just walk past for so long without ever putting your head through the door. I'll bite!
@carbon-structureHot tuna? No thanks.
@wipetywipeNormally I can sit here and watch these New Yorkers spew out some grand insightful message as to why their sandwhich, shwarma, taco etc is authentic and great. However this tuna melt right here is some bland flavorless bullshit only a Yankee would try and get you to try and say it's awesome, best in town. This is insanity.
@travisbaudoin3876Dukes is the best.
