The best smoked salmon in the city. Apparently, there's some kept in "the vault" that they'll bring out when requested.

One of my top 3 NYC foodie spots. Go gravlax and sable. Other two: Sahadis and East Village Cheese.

Go on a weekday when it's not so busy and they'll let you sample just about everything.

Ordered a Bagel with lox and cream cheese, was very very good but the bagel itself could have been fresher.

Buford BarnesJanuary 28, 2014
The most historic bagel shop in the city, but quite a bit overpriced. Not to mention the ordering system encourages you to accidentally pick an expensive fish.
Chris Aaron GaunApril 12, 2012
Bagel sandwiches are amazing. Anything with the wassabi roe is going to make your toes curl.
Samantha SmithApril 12, 2015
Their dried fruit and macaroons are on point.

OMG: Try their Scottish smoked salmon wrapped around some North Fork salt and vinegar potato chips. And on the other side of the aisle, the dried strawberries are amazing... Read more

Forget Katz Deli and their chaos. Come here for a seriously delicious Shtetl or maybe the Boychick. Schmears to die for

Russ & Daughters's Super Heebster is the stuff of legend, a mammoth $12 masterpiece packed with whitefish and baked salmon salad. The whole thing is held together by a bagel sourced from Bagel Hole. Read more
