New York's Legendary Lox and Bagels | The Iconic Russ & Daughters
During my trip to New York munching on a pastrami and rye from Katz, I noticed a long line up forming a few blocks down… Why were people there? I had to ask and discovered one of New Yorks finest places for lox and bagels was right there at Russ & Daughters. How fortuitous and we mustn’t turn down an opportunity. Inside the crowded location and barely making it in the door, we are greeted with hard working folks slicing bagels and there was David, thinly shaving sheets of lucious salmon making the perfect bagel sandwich with a touch a smoked sable fish.
Not having a place to sit and eat there, we made do with a park bench and a crowd of admiring pigeons. But little did we know, after waking a few more blocks down, Russ & Daughters also has a cafe with seating and even a bar! We had to go back and that we did...for one of the finest NY breakfasts we've had.
Immediately being greeted and welcomed by the kind servers and hosts, we headed straight to our table and ordered up a storm with a little encouragement from Eric. From Matzo Ball soup, to a platter of all their wonderful salmon, kippers, smoked sable, and seemingly endless bagels and spreads, we barely had room for dessert. And if you do decide to visit, make sure to save room for that all important and tasty cinnamon Babka French toast!

Tim, my favorite part of the video was not actually the food, but the "old school" decor, even the cups & dishes; & the glass dividers to separate each booth. It was like an old diner with a modern touch. My parents owned a diner when I was a child - brings back memories.

Lox bagels are delicious. They're are my favorite bagel toppings. Some caviar or salmon eggs on top would make the lox bagel even better. I like how you made the salmon/ wasabi roe and lox bagel. Looks delicious.

Hey Tim, I grew up on Long Island and currently live in NYC, so needless to say I've been eating great bagels my whole life. However, I also lived in Montreal for five years, so I've become very familiar with their iconic bagels as well. Since you're Canadian, I'm curious about which one you like better! Personally I think it's a tie because they're so different from each other. It's been years since I've been to Montreal, and sometimes I still really crave those St-Viateur and Fairmount bagels 🤤 FYI: Those onions inside the bialy are intentional (that's basically what makes it a bialy). Challah is never eaten with cream cheese (that's what those bagels on the platter are for). If you want to truly enjoy challah in all its glory, just schmear it with butter. Glad you enjoyed everything though!

I agree with you that both styles of bagel are good. I do prefer the Montreal style however. Less bread. I do appreciate Fairmount but give a slight edge to St. Viateur.

Tim-Excellent review. You seem like a super-friendly guy. I would make two points: 1. Do not mix the sable and the lox. Enjoy each one alone. Typically, sable is eaten on the plate. 2. The best way to enjoy a bialy is to toast it. The "stuff" in the bialy is onion. Bagels should never be toasted when fresh. Either way, it's all good and tasty. Enjoy!

If it’s worth your time and effort, you can take the skin home and fry it up in oil or butter until it’s crisp and eat it. It’s like chips. I bought a whole side of smoked salmon from a restaurant supply, and the skin is sitting in my freezer waiting to be fried!
