Eat Here Now

It’s been awhile since I came to dine to one of my favorite restaurant in the city. Been greeted by the owner with his excellent customer service as well as taking my order making sure things are okay, as I’m having my coffee see one of the old timers waiters, always friendly with a happy smile. My food was brought by such a charming waitress lady that it does make a difference how she’s greeted me and placed my food on the table. I asked if I could take some pictures since I don’t come here that often. I highly recommended this restaurant when ever you are in the city.

I've eaten here many times over the years. This place is always consistent which is the key to a good place to eat. Their coffee is always hot, fresh and delicious! Today, I had the roast turkey sandwich with lettuce, tomatoes and russian dressing on toasted rye. The rye was toasted perfectly which is a key thing and yet hard to get sometimes. The turkey was very tasty, crisp lettuce and the dressing was a perfect condiment to blend the flavors. For this are the prices are amazing. To have a very fulfilling, fresh and tasty lunch for under $25 on Lexington and 64th is a miracle. The wait staff, even when it is busy are always friendly and nothing short of amazing!

After a few hours in Central Park with my boys, I looked for a place that seemed kid friendly. I came across this place after a brief search. How could I not eat at a place called "Eat Here Now"?? My kids and I walk the 3 blocks and enter into the cutest little diner. A gentleman, who I can only assume, is the restaurant owner, greeted us like we were regulars. He asked if we wanted to dine inside or out and had my kids wait at the bar for our table. He gave us menus while we waited "to make things quicker." In most cases that would make me feel rushed, but he seemed to be more concerned about making sure my kids were kept occupied and happy which was a big relief. The gentleman was inviting, kind, helpful, and my kids loved talking to him and high fiving him. He even introduced us to one of the locals who comes often to the diner. This all felt surreal. Like I've been here before and I loved every second of it. The food was delicious, the staff were superb, and the owner even sent my kids off with a free cookie on the way out! All in all, a great NYC experience that makes you feel like your part of the city and not just visiting the city. Our next trip, we'll be back for sure!

The staff was amazing! They gave us crackers right away for my niece, and a toy to play with because she was a little upset. They were very quick with our order, the food was good, and very reasonably priced. Would definitely go back if ever in the area again. Thank you for your great hospitality and kindness! 😊
