The Good Thief

Before

0.4 mi · 7 min walk - Flatiron - NoMad

The old Eisenberg's counter at 174 Fifth Avenue, reopened under new ownership in 2022 with the original exterior signage left up. It is still a row of stools facing a griddle, and the tuna melt is still the order. The kitchen runs to 8pm, later than the shop ever managed as Eisenberg's.

After

0.2 mi · 5 min walk - Chelsea

Open since 1936 on the corner of Seventh Avenue and West 19th, and still run by the McManus family, which makes it about the oldest family-held bar in the city. Dark wood, a long bar, booths at the back and a burger the place will argue about. It has shown up in Seinfeld, Radio Days and Law & Order, and none of that has changed anything about walking in.
