    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

    Order a sturgeon to-go, eat by Central Park (or under the scaffolds of the church next door when it's pouring out).

    Breakfast - Pastrami Omelette w/ Horseradish Cheddar & Everything Bagel. Lunch - Triple Decker #7 Turkey, Pastrami, Cole Slaw and Russian Dressing. Perfect serving size, not tacky like Carnegie's.

    A classic and a MUST for bagels, lox, sturgeon, latkes, and pickles. Our favorite spot for Jewish brunch.

    Their whitefish salad tastes more like celery than fish. On my $14 salmon & cream cheese sandwich 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

    This place is over 100 years old, and I can see why. Have the smoked anything. Latke's on weekends only, don't skip out on them.

    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.

    This place is brilliant for breakfast - get the scrambled eggs, lox and onions with a bagel and coffee - the breakfast of champions.

    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

    Don't be scared off by the name. The Nova Scotia Heads and Wings broiled with onions is to die for! No heads to be seen.

    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 pastrami salmon. 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.
