Founded in 1914, Russ & Daughters has provided NYC with some of the best kosher food available. This deli specializes in smoked fish, caviar, bagels, capers and all things kosher. There are now three locations throughout NY. The deli ships food nationwide so even if you can’t travel you can still enjoy some of their stellar menus.

If you do make it to NYC, Russ & Daughters is a must see and eat. The preliminary deli’s location is more of a deli that you take your food to go and eat at home. Since the first location, two other restaurants have opened up, both of which have seating available with the same menu and food options as the original deli.

One of the Russ & Daughters locations is on the bottom floor of the Jewish Museum in Manhattan. This is a perfect spot to dine for brunch and then explore the amazing exhibitions at the museum. Not only does the deli have savory food but you can also order pastry desserts and cocktails. All of the ingredients are of the best quality and the food is always so fresh and beautifully composed.
