In 1928, Charles Schwadron and Rubin Pulver opened a diner in a newly erected building across the street from the landmark
Flatiron Building. The next year, they sold the restaurant to Monus Eisenberg, who renamed the establishment, and whose family would continue to operate it until 1979. For several years, Eisenberg's was owned by Louie Weisberg, who sold the business to Steve Oh in 1988. In 2006, Oh sold the business to one of his regular customers, Josh Konecky, who had never run a restaurant before but was passionate about preserving the neighborhood fixture. In 2021, the doors were closed after Chiu allegedly failed to pay rent, but it reopened under new ownership in 2022, along with a name change back to S&P Lunch (Chiu having retained rights to the Eisenberg's name). S&P Lunch is owned by Eric Finkelstein and Matt Ross, who also own Court Street Grocers, a local sandwich shop chain. ==Restaurant==
