Nows and Forevers

I was near 23rd Street and I couldn’t resist stopping by one of my haunts from my Chelsea days, Eisenberg’s, where they have been making egg creams and lime rickey’s since 1920. I couldn’t decide between an egg creams or a cherry lime rickey, and went with the latter.

If you haven’t ever had a handmade lime rickey, then you are really missing out. My dad used to take me at Brigham’s when we visited my grandmother’s in West Newton (Mass.), and I found this old timey luncheonette when I worked in NYC. It’s still exactly the way it looked 25 years ago, and the way it looked probably much longer ago than that.
