Russ & Daughters

Operating on East Houston Street as a fourth-generation family business, the shop extends its counter tradition well past standard bagels to include bialys, babka, and classic Jewish specialties. Specific menu choices range from pastrami-cured smoked salmon to house combinations like the Super Heebster with wasabi roe.

The original storefront operates primarily for to-go counter service with just two benches outside, while visitors looking for sit-down dining can head to their cafe a few blocks away
