Expensive bagel,, but worth it.. ~100 years old family place has retained its authenticity thru all generations. My favorite is Novia & Sable on toasted bialy w/scallion cream cheese, onions & capers!
Sit down with a cup of coffee and an unbeatable bagel sandwich—smoked salmon, cream cheese, tomato—and take in the throwback scene. Long live the "Sturgeon King"! Read more
Their whitefish salad tastes more like celery than fish. On my $14 salmon & cream cheesesandwich they put the TINIEST "shmear" of cream cheese; it was pathetic. But at least the salmon's delicious.
The right thing to do at Barney Greengrass is to order eggs scrambled with onions and sturgeon, which is the house specialty. If you hate white fish, the smoked salmon is also really, really good. Read more
Definitely order from the Barney's specialties menu they are heavenly! Any combo of one of their smoked fishes and scrambled eggs and onions is the best in the city!!!
Doughy bagels are outstanding. Bites similar to a pretzel. Make sure you fill that bagel with the best smoked sammy in the city. 16.00 for this bad boy so bring your wallet. Well worth it.

While you can't go wrong with basic nova lox here, there's a reason Barney Greengrass is known as The Sturgeon King—the smoked sturgeon here is rich and buttery, just like it should be. Read more
The menu includes a long list of omelettes and egg sandwiches, but you're definitely going to want to try something with smoked fish. A great first order is the eggs with a side of pastramisalmon. Read more
The straightforward breakfast fare at this upper west side deli/brunch joint is phenomenally good. You don't have to get any cured fish, but it's highly recommended.
