Russ & Daughters Cafe

Lower East Side · Appetizing / cafe · $$$

The original shop nearby is takeout chaos. This cafe is where you sit down and have it done properly — the smoked-fish board with sturgeon and sable is the move first-timers never order.

The sit-down cafe from the legendary appetizing shop. Bagel, lox, and the city's best smoked-fish board.
