Celebrated institution doling out classic Jewish fare, such as hand-sliced smoked fish and housemade New York-style bagels.
From Google Maps reviews.
Hands down the best and most unique bagels we've had. We ordered the shtetl, super heebster, pastrami russ, and daughter's delight. They were all exceptional! In california it's hard finding bagels that feature fish other than salmon. For drinks we ordered a cold brew and an egg cream. We Californians have also never tried an egg cream which was both refreshing and indulgent at the same time. I also love that you can buy fish and caviar by the weight. What a unique experience and definitely one
A fantastic selection of bagels and toppings, it’s honestly so hard to choose. The options are creative, fresh, and really make you want to try something new. The bagels are a bit on the pricier side, but in my opinion they’re still absolutely worth a try!
One of NYC’s most iconic spots for smoked fish — and now I fully understand why people love it. I ordered the Daughter’s Delight — which comes with Gaspe Nova smoked salmon + wild Alaskan salmon roe + cream cheese on a bagel. The lox was silky and delicate, with just the right amount of savoriness. The salmon roe added little pops of flavor, and the cream cheese tied everything together so nicely. The bagel itself? I really liked it — not overly chewy, soft in the center, with just enough bite
