A real old world treat. New York delicatessen counter with table service in the adjacent room. Best sturgeon ever. Lox and bagels were excellent as well. A place you would only find in New York City and only if you were lucky, or good, or a local resident. Highly recommended.

A MUST when wanting a NYC experience if you're a tourist and even better if you are a local in need of the best smoked salmon and whitefish. If you insist on eating in, don't expect polite service. It will be fast and it will be insistent. Whenever and whatever you do, remember this is CASH ONLY!

I found their surgeon to be horrible. Over half of Most slices were dark brown and not edible. I really dislike paying a lot of money for surgeon. I’m going to throw out. Ship good surgeon and charge me more but don’t ship me garbage.

I paid $27 for a bagel sandwich. WORTH EVERY PENNY. Best nova lox sandwich in the whole city! Big family atmosphere:). Cute place and cute staff. There was this guy with green sleeves and a Jack Frost haircut, very attentive with orders & refills. Cute place, cute staff.

Such a signature spot in NYC with so much history (over 100 years)! True legends have eaten here including the GOAT Anthony Bourdain. I ordered one of his go-to's, the Nova with scrambled eggs and onions with a bialy on the side. Food quality was solid and the service was speedy and efficient. These guys are no joke as they were literally receiving overnight shipping requests over the phone from people around the country! They accept credit cards and tap to pay. A bit on the pricey side ($30 with tip) but the quality speaks for itself.

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?
Authentic and cozy place. Incredible dishes. White fish salad is amazing. Sturgeon is a must try.

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
