Quick service, delicious latkes, and amazing homemade pickles. Only downside was pigeon poop on the shoulder while waiting in line.

Cash only on weekends; cards accepted on weekdays.
Classic Jewish appetizing shop full of history and delicious bagels! The Nova Scotia salmon was top notch and the latkes were crispy and huge. Service is no frills and mildly abrasive. Prices are steep but where aren’t prices steep in Manhattan?

Cash only historical fish spot with a pretty extensive menu. Really good bites and no frills setting.
Got the nova with an everything bagel appetizer as my main and it was honestly the best nova I’ve ever had. Bright, flavorful, but not too fishy. Plenty of cream cheese and extras to dress my bites with. TBH it was so good that it may have ruined all other nova for me.
My husband got the scrambled eggs and sturgeon and he loved it too. Perfect amount of saltiness. The everything bagels were also solid.
Definitely get the potato pancakes, they’re puffy and crispy with plenty of sour cream and applesauce.
It’s pricier than some other spots but for me, the quality of the fish was markedly better which made it worth it to me.
Loved our breakfast. If you haven't tried Sturgeon before you don't know what you are missing! My new favorite fish, by far! I have two negative things to mention. $12.00 for just 2 scrambled eggs is outrageous and I ordered chopped liver but instead I received chopped Herring. I enjoyed the herring but was looking forward to trying their chopped liver. Will definitely return.

Amazing smoked fish! Loved the sable. Overall very satisfying breakfast/lunch. I did feel that the bagels could’ve been better, but that could be personal preference. Still a good breakfast

Historical place, Anthony Bourdain was said that this is the best breakfast in the universe.
Price is fine, service ok, and the food is well done. At least to pass by time to time

No doubt this is an institution been around since early 1908 and they moved from original Harlem to Upper west. You walk in and it’s just a quintessential hustle bustle NYC fish focused deli. **it’s cash ONLY
They feature mainly salted fish from sturgeon to salmon etc.. pair that with a bagel and you are set for a solid breakfast. The potato puffers are good even having come from Germany. They are crisp on the outside golden and softy and doughy with the balanced acidity it needs.
As far as value for what it is it’s terrible and priced up there. 2 bagel combos, 1 potato puffer, 2x OJ you’re looking at 109$ without tip.
