NEW YORK CITY | Russ & Daughters is a 4th generation Jewish appetizing shop has been doing its thing since 1914 and it’s one of my essential New York food spots whenever I’m in town or someone asks me where they should go when visiting.
The original store is in the Lower East Side, but for those in Brooklyn, their Brooklyn Navy Yard store, which opened in 2018, is a convenient alternative. It’s bigger than the original, with tables at which to eat the food and an entire bakery visible to the public through large glass windows.
I always order a few thing over a coupe of visits, but the first thing I get when I’m back is an “everything” bagel with a schmear of plain all natural cream cheese, gravlox, sliced tomato, and a bit of salt and pepper. The ingredients are of the highest quality, and the salmon in particular has a flavour and texture that’s unmatched by any I’ve had elsewhere.
I also usually go for some kind of sweet treat like a slice of the fantastic chocolate babka and a few rugelach.
It’s always difficult to expand such an old business that’s steeped in history, but with the Brooklyn Navy Yard store, Russ & Daughters have successfully done so. While I’ll always love going to the original – its has a certain character that can’t be replicated, I have no problem coming here either.
