In the early 1900s, Jewish appetizing stores—places that sold dairy and fish, as well as bagel accompaniments, such as cured and smoked fish, spreads and salads—ruled the streets of New York. Russ & Daughters is one of the few that still remain, and for a reason.

Serving the Lower East Side since 1914, this family-run business has kept people happily fed for more than 100 years. Here, you’ll find the city’s best smoked and cured fish, including pastrami-cured salmon, pickled herring and caviar. Their range of smoked salmon alone spans offerings from Norway, Scotland and Ireland, and sits next to fresh herrings from the Netherlands and France. Latkes served with crème fraîche and red caviar are available all year round, as are gefilte fish and matzo ball soup. But the true reason people come to Russ & Daughters is for the bagel sandwich: a true New York-style bagel, baked at their site in Brooklyn, and layered with belly-carved lox, cream cheese, tomato, onion and capers.

Though Russ & Daughters has a few more locations: one in the Upper East Side, and an expanded location at the Brooklyn Navy Yard to keep up with their bagel demands, the deli on Orchard Street, with the neon sign out the front, is the one to go to for the old-school Jewish New York experience.
