Eli Zabar’s Recipe for the Perfect Summer Sandwich is Fast, Easy and Full of Mayonaise
Eli Zabar likes to keep things local. “I grew up on Riverside and 84th and I lived there when I first opened E.A.T., and I was frustrated by the commute from Riverside Drive and 84th to Madison Avenue and 81st. It was horrible,” he says about the trek from the Upper West Side to his Upper East Side grocery and pastry shop.
