Here + There :: Russ & Daughters NYC

Anytime I travel I always make a point to try something new! The last time I was in NYC, it was Russ & Daughters in the Lower East Side. Russ & Daughters is a famous ‘appetizing store’ ful of rich family history… but most importantly, it’s known to have the very best bagels & lox in New York City!

So, with husband and sister (who lives in the city) in tow, we headed down to the Lower East Side for breakfast.

Just ordering was a bit overwhelming, because you had to be a pro. But, with a little help from the counter staff, we ended up with some amazing noshes:  a classic bagel & lox with gaspe nova AND a delicious wasabe and white fish bagel, which I imagined would be something Morimoto would have for breakfast!

It was an experience that was rich in culture & incredibly delicious… and, really, it was just so nice to spend the day with my sister! Love ya, sis!

Being from the Northeast, bagel & lox are a standard, but I’ve met so many in the South who have never even heard of it!

Ever had bagel & lox??  What do you think?
