Old school service at Russ & Daughters

Although my trips to East Houston area typically happen after 9pm, I made an exception of spending some AM hours in the neighborhood.





They've been around since 1914 in Manhattan's Lower East Side. I tried the Classic lox and cream cheese on a bagel with onions, a tomato slice, and a few capers. I also ordered the pickled herring in cream sauce. The lox+cc bagel was tres magnifique, however, I still prefer my pickled herring in wine sauce.



There are plenty of other places in New York, many not so famous, that have equally good appetizing products. I think what keeps R&D going is the service and attention to detail. They have a relatively large staff that takes their time with each customer order, giving you the feeling that you have stepped back into a different time in New York's history.
