In New York, even old money menageries like the Upper East Side need a greasy spoon. Eat Here Now is one of the best of that category, albeit with a subdued greasy side. Sunk into the sub-basement of the building, the restaurant is like a surface submarine deck, perfect for people-(or ankle-)watchers, and the service could not be friendlier if the place was pumped full of Smilex gas. Better yet, food arrives on the heels of your drink order, and the speed of the chef doesn't diminish the craft with which your food is prepared.
