"Legions of customers flock here—and have been for a century. Cured and smoked fish, as well as deli items may be the classic order, but they also serve a terrific breakfast. Start your day with a Nova scramble sided by a bagel and cream cheese. The menu offers a roster of all-time favorites: homemade chicken liver, smeared on a toasted bialy, with hard-boiled egg and caramelized onions is always a good bet; as is an overstuffed pastrami sandwich on soft rye, served with mustard and crunchy half-sours." - The MICHELIN Guide
