On a late Wednesday morning, a group of friends and I got breakfast at Russ & Daughters. Having been to the location on Houston St., we already knew what to expect. We entered, took our ticket numbers (like the ones you see at the grocery stores), and waited for our turn. Luckily, not too many others also waited to order, so my number got called in a few minutes. I ordered the Super Heebster bagel sandwich with whitefish & baked salmon salad, horseradish-dill cream cheese, & wasabi flying fish roe ($19) and a cold brew coffee ($5) at the counter. Staff asked me to wait a few minutes. After preparing everything, they called me to the cash register, where I paid and received everything. I managed to snag the 5 person table w/combination booth and chair seating that freed up as I walked away from the cash register. Otherwise, all tables looked occupied; however, turnover seemed quick for most getting quick meals. The bagel sandwich proved excellent. The whitefish & baked salmon salad tasted creamier and richer than whitefish alone without becoming too oily or rich. I added onions, tomato, and caper (+$0.50 ea, +$1.50 total); these cut the richness substantially and balanced the palate. The wasabi roe provided some sharper texture and flavor contrasts. As for the bagel itself, I chose the everything bagel. The outer texture and inner fluffiness seemed on par with other highly rated establishments, such as Liberty Bagels. Crucially, it did not seem too dense. The cold brew coffee tasted on par with those at decent 3rd wave coffee shops - not too over extracted, dusty, over diluted, or acidic (good thing the previous decade's trend of light roast cold brew coffee died out).

While there are many Russ & Daughters locations, we stopped by this one near Hudson Yards. Like its surrounding corporate offices, the interior felt very corporate chic and lack authenticity. The place is packed during breakfast hour. We grabbed a ticket then waited about 15 minutes until our number was called to order. This store focuses mostly on savory options. You can order their spreads, smoked fishes, and even caviar. I got an everything bagel with plain cream cheese. While the cream cheese tasted pretty solid, the bagel was a letdown. It tasted old and dry, on par with a bagel from Einstein Bros. If you want a nice lox, I would suggest getting spread and fish here but bagel elsewhere.

Latke

We swung by here for breakfast while staying at a local hotel. There is a huge selection of bagels, schmears and caviar along with deli staples like latke, soups and sandwiches. The workers were patient with us out-of-towners asking lots of questions and seeking recommendations. The latke were really good as were the bagels. The caviar schmear is an easy intro to caviar for caviar-newbies.

This was a disappointing experience. Years ago I went to the original Russ and Daughters, which was completely mad. The lines were insane and the wait was an hour for a bagel. But it was totally worth it. Those were the days. Now there are locations everywhere. I got a classic gaspe nova (sesame) bagel with (scallion) schmear. The bagel was the saddest bagel I have ever eaten. I am from NYC, I know my bagels. This bagel was hard. They used to put a quarter pound of salmon in the bagels. I could barely see the salmon in this bagel. I got some alskan roe to be fancy, but definitely not worth the upcharge. Two bagels and minus $50 later - I decided I will likely not return.

This place is cute. Feels like you jumped into the 1950s for a second. A little quiet without music. They got a lot to choose from. I got classic cream cheese with lox. The cashier suggested I get the scallion cream cheese, I also added capers, onions and tomato with it. I see they also sell caviar and champagne, that's cool. My bagel was wrapped so nicely. It was absolutely delicious and the bagel itself was very fresh. They had plenty of seating on a Wednesday morning, the seats were very comfortable. Definitely a yummy spot!

Fairly popular bagel spot featuring a few fish varieties and with a large and corporate menu. You take a ticket and wait your turn to order. The bagel is decent and although it was good, I felt the similar taste can be had outside of NYC and this was more about the ambiance.

Sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and tomato

Lucky coincidence that this location was a 14 min walk from our stay so went right over a few minutes before opening. A line started forming pretty quickly so I could already tell the bagels would be worthwhile. I ordered a sesame bagel with scallion cream cheese and tomato. Absolutely delicious! The location is super cute and looks like a modernized old fashioned deli. Service was excellent and I'm so sad I don't live nearby so I can have fresh NY bagels on a regular basis.

Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese

Came here for a bagel! As a west coast tourist, this place was perfect. Deli style ordering where you grab a number. Place your order. They call you up to the counter when the food is ready and then you pay. Everyone was super friendly and kind. The bagels were fantastic. We had the everything bagel with scallion cream cheese. The ratio of schmear to bagel was perfect. Also the top and bottom of the bagel had the everything seasoning on it! My husband had the cinnamon raisin bagel with regular cream cheese. He really enjoyed it. Our 5 year old had the babka French toast and really liked it. We also got the latke which was AMAZING! The inside is very cute with tables and a super nice bathroom. Highly recommend if looking for a traditional NY bagel!

lox on everything

the lox and bagel was so delicious, try it with the goat cheese cream cheese omg it's heaven

My onion bagel with everything. Nice.

I've been dying to try Russ & Daughters for some time and today was the day. We were in town on holiday for the week and we walked from our place in Chelsea. After a brief wait we ordered: Matzo ball soup and a sesame bagel for my wife and an onion bagel with scallion cream cheese, lox, tomato, capers and onion for me. We got a table and got to it. Firstly, the Matzo ball soup was SCREAMING hot just like it should be. Some places are afraid to serve their soups at a decent temperature but not R&D. Yes! Sesame bagel was good. My bagel with everything was kinda perfect. Chewy, crunchy, creamy, salty and briny with capers. The cold brew was also quite good and my wife's coffee was fine. Service was friendly and prompt. Ambiance was upscale diner meets fish market. We will be back to try a few more things. Thanks! 8/10

When you walk in, it's a bit intimidating. There's a long line. Lots of variety to choose from. Limited seating. But... One of the best salmon lox bagels I've had! They give you lots of salmon lox, cream cheese, tomatoes, onions, and capers. The tomatoes, onions, and capers are add ons. They are pretty quick. I never finish a whole bagel, but this was something my friends and I demolished. Highly recommend!

Russ & Daughters will always be a favorite of mine. It's a place worth venturing around with all the different variety that they have to offer. If you are not someone who's really into lox, you can skip, but if you are into lox...worth going and trying all that they have to offer. Yes it's 1000% on the pricier end, and no it's not a grab and go kind of bagel...but oh is it a nice treat here and there. I'm a bit of a traditionalist when it comes to the locations of Russ & Daughters...I definitely prefer the original location but this and the other cafe by the original are nice simply for the fact that the insides are built out so well and are incredibly cozy and "New York." With this being a bagel you'd like to sit down and enjoy, this location and the other cafe location are great for exactly that. *side-note, this isn't a place to be intimidated by. The deli like setting can scare many but it is incredibly relaxed and friendly.

Incredible! This place was highly recommended to me and I had to stop by when I was in New York. You enter and grab a number and it goes pretty quickly. The bagel was delicious and the horseradish dill cream cheese really added to the flavor. I wish I was more hungry so I could try more items. Definitely would love to come back and get soup or a black-and-white cookie.
