"Open since 1914, Russ & Daughters is sort of like Coney Island, in that it has equal appeal for both tourists and locals. But there’s no seating at the original appetizing store on the Lower East Side, so if you’re looking for a place to camp out with a bagel, walk a few blocks south to Russ & Daughters Cafe (which opened in the 21st century). Find yourself a big booth, and eat some sable, a few latkes, and an omelet with nova." - nikko duren, bryan kim, kenny yang, willa moore, sonal shah
