Hot Bread KitchenFebruary 23, 2012Open since 1914, Russ and Daughters is the premier location for smoked fish in NYC. Instead of a bagel, pick up one of our Bialys to go with your cream cheese and lox!
Joshua DeckerOctober 17, 2017The classic lox is out of control. Also make sure to get any of the French toast. To die for.
MimiMarch 8, 2014Fancy Delancey sandwich on a plain bagel, so good! Sounds like flavor overkill on paper but just believe and you will be rewarded.
alxxrtMarch 19, 2015Great Salmon Bagel! Get NYC classic Salmon, Tomato, Red Onoins, Scallion, Capers on a Whole Weat Bagel.
CristinaApril 26, 2013No words will express how good the food you get here is. Just go and order as much as you can eat...and maybe a little more.
Valentina MonteApril 16, 2013i'm sorry, but no. just. no. old new york classic wonder and all, tals > russ every day. here, bagels are biddy bagels that do not taste good. AND YET: the neon sign here is a vision. iconic.
SEGAJanuary 4, 2012This is the best smoked salmon in the world, hands down. Get a plain bagel with horseradish cream cheese and the Scottish smoked salmon. - Kellie, Community Manager
Village VoiceAugust 18, 2010Super Heebster: heat, umami, smoke, salt, cream cheese whipped to ethereal heights, crunchy, snappy roe, silky, voluptuous whitefish salad and bagel w/ nice, shiny crust & pleasantly chewy innards.
Allie CarieriAugust 8, 2014Can't go wrong with smoked salmon, cream cheese and "the works" (tomatoes, capers, red onion)
Mahesh BahuleyanApril 8, 2018Had the smoked salmon sandwich with an everything bagel toasted. Lived up to my expectations!
A ZDecember 29, 2018Delicious but make sure you come on off hours as much as possible to avoid the wait!
If you don't get the whitefish & baked salmon salad, something is seriously wrong with you.
DebbApril 5, 2017Went there to have a bagel sandwich. The place was over crowded and it's always like that. The bagel was good but I'll never wait again for it.
Christopher PepeMarch 12, 2013If this isn't the best bagel with lox, schmear, onions, and capers that exists in this world, then we live in a pretty phenomenal world.
Michael ErbApril 3, 2022Best bagels I have ever had. The wheat and the pumpernickel were superlative!
Jordan LevyOctober 6, 2012They do an amazing job of packing and shipping the best smoked fish anyplace. Worth the price. Try pastrami lox - killer.
Emilie FuttermanAugust 10, 2015Worth the wait. Scallion cream cheese and nova lox. Classic and delicious.
TastyMontrealAugust 15, 2013Try the Smoked Salmon Bagel - Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, red onions and Scottish smoked salmon, delicious!
nancy t.February 13, 2018Hour wait on a Saturday around lunch, but worth it. Lox on bagel with everything on.
Anna JamesFebruary 23, 2016Everything bagel+Norwegian smoked salmon+ scallion cream cheese = best breakfast ever!
Everything bagel w pastrami salmon and scallion cream cheese with tomato onions capers. Can't miss.
Everyone comes for the salmon, I go for the candy. The chocolate jelly grahams and pistachio marzipan will change your life!
ShadiApril 28, 2013Try the white fish & baked salmon salad or order just a plain bagel with caviar creamcheese..
Claudia FilthSeptember 6, 2016Chocolate babka Icecream sandwiches. Yes, they're $7.50, but totally worth it!- Village VoiceAugust 15, 2014With a variety of the best smoked salmon in the city, Russ & Das also has the best prices. Read more
LöplöpçülerFebruary 10, 2014Plain bagel, horseradish cream cheese, wild western nova salmon, caper, red onion
Amazing selection of smoked fishes and a great sweets bar. Try a pumpernickel bagel with scallion cream cheese, Irish salmon, onions and tomato! My favorite!
Mike FriedlichMay 31, 2016Sesame bagel with lox and cream cheese is amazing! Must have it if you go.- Village VoiceNovember 14, 2011Winner of Best Jewish in the Village Voice 2011 Best Of issue! Try picking up a variety of apps for your next house party.
Mario BataliMarch 9, 2011best place for appetizing - especially love their smoked fish and caviar – the best in the city! Love their whitefish salad too!
Tom JosephMay 21, 2015Beautiful shop and the salmon and cream cheese are delicious, but my bagel was a bit hard
Hari PatelJanuary 4, 2015Great service. Amazing selection. Also, can pack to-go bag for a long trip home.
David GreenDecember 11, 2013Lox was fresh, but saying their bagels are okay is being generous. My jaw got a workout. Next time I'll get it to go and use someone else's bagels
Super heebster is fantastic, but at some point I'm going to have to order something with lox instead, just for variety.
Sara MarcosSeptember 13, 2018Try the tofu cream for your bagel! Less calories, super tasty & healthy!!
- Get the Scottish smoked salmon - it has the strongest rich and smoky flavor.
Kevin NgApril 24, 2015Flying fish roe wasabi smoked salmon bagel. Do a few of their maracoons for a bite after, too.
Jenna FriedmanJuly 13, 2016Heebster!!! And they have great gluten free bagels too. This place is Jew food heaven.
