Anne Taillandier: Love the salmon eggs, Irish smoked salmon, horseradish cream cheese, and smoked trout mousse. They also carry an amazing rye bread and great assortment of canned fish.
Deborah Au-Yeung: Hackle back caviar and blinis, get them. Bloody Marys - I had one with caraway and another one with fenugreek. Get the classic lox on an everything bagel. Finish with challah bread pudding. Holla!
Martina Ekman: I'm sure the classic platter with lox is delicious, but go out of your comfort zone here. The super heebster bagel toast is incredible. Come before 10 on weekends to skip the line!
