They request that you call in advance to place your lox and schmear order over the phone, and if you’d prefer delivery, you can order from their Jewish Museum store on here. Also - Russ & Daughters ships care packages nationwide, and your friend in another state could really use a dozen bagels right now." - hannah albertine
