The Perfect Meatloaf Sandwich

I realize that I have about 1435 more sandwiches to consume in New York City, but so far, Eisenberg’s makes my favorite.

I’ve been here a dozen times, I’ve tried them all. You can’t go wrong, no matter which you choose.

The breakfast sandwiches are simple but excellent. The pastrami is top notch. Not exactly Katz or Carnegie caliber, but still quite impressive.

The meatloaf sandwich, however, is the best I’ve ever had. Packed with flavor!

And that’s coming from someone that makes a mean meatloaf. A Meanloaf, if you will.

Often times, restaurants perhaps add a few grains of salt to season their meatloaf and that’s it. Bland City. It’s meat formed in the shape of a loaf, folks. You gotta put some effort into it.

This divey diner opened in 1929, it’s a often crowded, no-nonsense eat-and-run kind of joint. I mostly get my food to go, but today I dined in. Cuz I’m fancy.

The waitress was pleasant enough but I could tell she grew tired of my dining companion’s constant questions.

Word to the wise: Just order, eat and leave. No questions. No substitutions. No whining. It’s a metaphor for life in New York City, essentially.
