"It’s not often that we recognize a restaurant’s claim to royalty. But Barney Greengrass calls themselves the Sturgeon King, and we’re happy to pledge allegiance. When you go to this Upper West Side restaurant, get as many varieties of smoked fish as you can fit on your table, and plenty of bagels and bialys to eat them with. It's cash-only and feels like a window into the Mrs. Maisel Universe—there’s no elbow room, the servers will give you the same schtick every time you’re there, and you’ll leave with a bellyful of whitefish, sable, and latkes. Grab a babka on your way out the door. " - molly fitzpatrick, willa moore, will hartman, sonal shah, neha talreja
