"Anyone who knows the happy chaos of the old Russ & Daughters lox-and-bagels outpost might be surprised by its sister café. This is a retro-styled, Instagram-ready restaurant with a soda shop vibe. It’s all sleek lines, herringbone tiles, a silver-and-white palette, soft little globe lights, and backlit jars labeled “PICKLED HERRING” and “SARDINES.” If you just want to get your bagel and whitefish salad on in a peaceful, sleek setting, this is where you go." - Andrea Whittle
