Eat Here Now, Upper East Side, NYC

After a concert at the Streicker Center (Temple Emanu-El) we walked toward the subway entrance to find someplace to grab a quick sandwich. Oddly the only place we found open was the Eat Here Now diner on Lex.

To be safe, we each ordered a BLT on rye ($7.95) – my initial namesake. My middle name started with an L before I married, then switched to BTL after. Not bad, as I could keep all my 70s initial pins.

This sandwich hit the spot: the bacon was crisp, the crisp lettuce bright green and tomatoes flavorful. Sometimes something so good, isn’t thought of when going out for a quick bite. It should be.
