First there was the Spitzer Spritzer at Teddy's and now, Sandwich #9: Hot Tongue on Rye. Eisenberg's owner Josh Konecky explains to Gobble the creative process behind today's special:
So, who came up with the sandwich? Spitzer came up with it. [pause]. No, I came up with it. Did you already order?Yeah. I didn’t order the tongue. What’d you order? The chicken?
No, the roast beef. A lot of people don’t like tongue. Tongue is delicious! Funny how people will eat one part of the cow, but not another.
So how many have you sold today? A couple. [Gestures to the lunch counter]. Someone’s eating one over there right now. [Another regular walks in.] Jim, you gonna order The Spitzer?
Jim contemplated a neon orange sign advertising the sandwich ('You just gotta try Sandwich No. 9') and decided to go for it: "Yeah, I’ll have mine with mustard!"
Eisenberg's Sandwich Shop, 174 5th Ave, between 22nd and 23rd Streets, 212-675-5096.

I walked past Eisenberg's twice daily for a year, got curious near the end of it and ate lunch there. The place was swarming with flies. They were crawling all over the lunch counter, the food containers, the dude who made my order, etc. It was pretty gross.
... that's my story, hope you enjoyed it.
That's hysterical. I love Ye New York. They should replace the 18th century engraving alongside the entry for 'comeuppance' in the OED with a picture of Elliot Spitzer.
I think I just threw up a little.
And we would replace the 18th century engraving alongside the entry for 'comeuppance' in the OED with a picture in the style of an 18th century engraving of Elliot Spitzer.
