Address: 1064 Madison Ave Zipcode: 10028 Phone Number: 212.772.0022 For noshing on the East Side, head for the cheery deli-turned-eatery E.A.T., where you can fill up on overstuffed sandwiches – from juicy roast lamb on raisin nut bread to the aptly named “Tower of Bagel” – and tasty blintzes and bilinis. In a word, it’s D.E.L.I.C.I.O.U.S. Owner Eli Zabar – youngest son of the creators of the famed Zabar’s deli on the West Side – has followed in his family’s footsteps – and then some. Not only can you satiate yourself silly on traditional Jewish delicacies – Matzo ball soup or whitefish salad, anyone? – but you can also indulge in an array of other gourmet treats, including mussels remoulade and eggplant caviar. It can be pricey – twelve dollars may seem an awful lot to pay for a chopped liver sandwich but the pinch on your wallet is tempered by the inviting, lunch-counter vibe, with its bright checkered floors and chatty waitresses, and the fact that the gargantuan portions will negate having to eat again until the next day. E.A.T. lies within strolling distance of Museum Mile, making it a perfect pit stop to refuel while sightseeing, or you can get your meal to go and enjoy it in Central Park.
