About this place

Russ & Daughters is a landmark appetizing shop where bagels, smoked fish, caviar, babka, and old New York food traditions are still the main attraction. Visiting the Houston Street shop turns a Goldbelly delivery favorite into a classic Lower East Side food stop.

Trivia

Goldbelly notes that Russ & Daughters was founded in 1914 and has been recognized by the Smithsonian as part of New York's cultural heritage.

Visiting tips

This is a counter-service shop, not a sit-down cafe at the original location. Go early for the widest selection and plan to take food to-go.
