Dear James. I have to insist on two things. The NYC tourist office should sponsor you for your effort to promote the gastronomic circuit. And second, how do you eat without worrying, and always be fit. Congratulations, your videos are very, very good

Gotta try this. I once did a delivery order for Postmates at this restaurant and when I was an Uber driver I transported the owner he gave me a nice tip after I had a wild guess that he was the owner of Russ and daughters

Nice! Yeah, it's a must try!

Slicing the bialy and [maybe toasting] putting a shmear of at least butter or some scallion cc would've changed your mind, surely. They're that much lighter than a bagel in volume. Your bagel looked exquisite... 😋👍❤🥯

@Jamesnu

Жыл бұрын

Yeah, that definitely would've helped the bialy. I'll do that next time, but at least I really enjoyed my bagel!

I’ve never seen or heard of anyone eating a bialy without cream cheese on it. You’ve got to try it again and eat it the right way before passing judgment. The rest of your video was spot on.

Thank you! Yeah, you're right. I'm sure it would've been much better with cream cheese and properly toasted.

Huge amazing fave in Manhattan! Love this place so much and I visit whenever I am in NY! This is an establishment everyone should visit - top quality! The original store is the one to go to - it's my only go to for Russ and Daughter's. I love how the owners treat their staff. Integrity - like a family.

Thanks! I really appreciate it! Yeah, that was a big oversight on my part not getting coffee with my food, but that was the first thing I did after finishing my lunch.

Love the inclusion of the place's history, great summary. And good move going on a rainy day. It's not surprising that you haven't visited the place until that day given the long wait times. I chose to go for the first time during the pandemic, and I barely waited 10 minutes. This is definitely one of those places that will satisfy. Their bagels aren't my favorite though. I usually go there and buy a pound of Lox, fish salad, smoked herring, and make the sandwiches at home with some of my preferred bagels, Philadelphia cream cheese and fresh condiments. BTW, if you want to try some killer Babka, get the Babka at Isaac's. It's right across the street from DiFara in Midwood Brooklyn. It's one of my favorite all time desserts ever and it's way better than the one here at Russ and Daughters IMO.

Thanks! Yeah, the short wait time was the only silver lining of the terrible weather. I know what you mean about the bagel. It was good, but the fish was the real star. Thanks for the recommendation about Isaac's.

I plan on going there in December with the family. That sandwich looked amazing.

I’ve had inconsistent experiences at R&D in terms of how much salmon they give you.

You pay for the history and quality, just wish they’d be a bit more generous with the salmon.

Those both sound really good!

People say we European Jews have no good food. But Katz pastrami and Russ and Daughters proves this is wrong. I would take these and good gefilte fish over any Middle Eastern Jewish food. I wonder which is a better deal, this for $15 or Katz for $30? Probably this. I wonder which is more important in a good lox sandwich, the lox or the bagel. Probably the bagel, as good salmon is easy to find, but a good bagel, that''s a miracle. When my twin brother comes into NY from San Fran, we go for lox and bagels on the UES. What's your favorite bagel place in NY? If you like Russ, try the one in the Jewish museum, one of the most amazing museums I've been to, other than Museum of the Mentally Ill in Lausanne, Switzerland, also worth the trip.
