Marc JacobsJune 30, 2012If you're shopping for caviar, you don't have to wait in line when it's busy. Just head right to the back counter and you'll get immediate service.
joeDecember 5, 2013I thought it was excellent. Had a bagel with Lox and the heebster. Both very good!
Michelin Travel & LifestyleSeptember 22, 2012Behind the counter an award-winning array of bagels & smoked fish. The sable is worth the extra shekels. - Green Guide Editor
Nina LoSchiavoJune 24, 2015Insanely overpriced for a lox bagel, but worth a trip one time for the experience. Salmon is of the utmost highest quality.
The Gaspe salmon is sublime but don't miss the best Babka anywhere period. Chocolate or cinnamon.
Curtis ShoungDecember 1, 2013Good. As in very amazing. Waited 45 mins for a bagel with lox and cream. But worth it.
Katherine M.April 28, 2014My friend Adam says, "For fish and bagels (lox, whitefish salad and kippered salmon)."
Mike ChauSeptember 29, 2012Try the Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese - The Classic with scallion cream cheese on a sesame seed bagel
- It's not hyperbole to say this store is one of the best reasons to live in NYC. In addition the Babka is THE BEST you will ever taste.
Anthony De RosaOctober 6, 2012Pastrami Lox on pumpernickel. Watch how thin they slice the fish. Goes down nice with a Dr. Brown's Cel-ray
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantNovember 8, 2014A bit of a zoo. I much prefer their new cafe on orchid street. Great selection.
pastrami lox on an everything bagel. fantastic. go for the mini bagel if you're not starving.
Tolga GApril 24, 2014Western nova smoked salmon and Norwegian smoked salmon yum yum yum... delicious............
Try the Classic with Wild Western Nova and horseradish cream cheese on a plain bagel. Looking for something more decadent, go for the Daughter's Delight; rich but perfect.
Matt NewbergNovember 15, 2013Grab a sandwich and eat it next door at preserve 24. That bagel speakeasy life.
Jen AshkenazieMarch 8, 2014Bagel w/ Scottish lox and horseradish cream cheese wish the bagels were better quality can't wait for the restaurant to open
Jonathan LevyFebruary 18, 2018Not doubt about the food here, classics done right but you may not a smile from staff every time...
Seth GordonOctober 22, 2011A must for any visitor. Just grab a bagel with your choice of lox, eat in the mini park just West on Houston. Perfection.

MuseumNerdNovember 17, 2011Get to noshin' on some Hamantaschen! Then pray to God that they keep collaborating with James Cohan Gallery who's put some brilliant video art in he window!
Great selection of different loxes and cream cheeses. Try them all!
Agatha YuDecember 11, 2014Once you enter, grab the number tag to your left. Otherwise you won't be served!
etta yFebruary 12, 2012Of course the fish is wonderful, but check out the selection of breads and crackers and cheese too.
My go-to: Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, Gaspe Nova, tomato, red onion. THE BEST
Rob HadleyMarch 12, 2012You can order an egg cream or coffee and some licorice at the coffee counter while you wait for your turn at the fish counter...- The Wall Street JournalApril 10, 2012"Since 1914, the city's best and most character-rich smoked-fish experts." -Chef Gabrielle Hamilton of Prune Read more
