Barney’s is a traditional long standing breakfast spot in UES. Do not miss stopping here. Classic bagels and spreads as well as other breakfast/lunch foods. I would admittedly say the latkes are the best I’ve ever had.

Bourdain said: Whenever I want to treat myself to breakfast in New York, in fact, the best breakfast in the universe, I go to a little place in my neighborhood…the legendary Barney Greengrass, the Sturgeon King,I didn't get his sturgeon platter--a bit too sporty for a solo diner--but I did get the Nova eggs, a garlic bagel, and coffee. It was phenomenal.Barney has been in business since 1908--a true NYC legend. Highly recommend...

A real classic. The food and vibe here never change. And I mean that in the best way. Consistently great omelettes with a perfectly toasted bagel and a square of cream cheese paired with a great cup of coffee. Always good. And don't forget to order the potato latkes.Parking: Parking on Amsterdam and Side streets is tough. Best to take a taxi.Kid-friendliness: There are good options for all ages.Wheelchair accessibility: Outdoor seating is very accessible. Indoor seating is a bit crowded for wheelchair access.

A real traditional Jewish Deli. The climate here is wonderful. The latkes taste perfect as they should (I come from Central and Eastern Europe, where this dish comes from) and the addition of apples goes perfectly. Gefiltefish could be a little less sweet, but with the additions it still tastes delicious. The service does not pretend to be anyone and does its job 100%!

A culinary Institution for over 100 years, located in the Upper West Side, offers one of the better Nova and other amazing Smoked Fishes in town. Other Deli specialties include Potato Latkes, Pastrami, Corned Beef, Blintzes and other delicacies. Beware that only Cash payments are accepted. Service is extremely helpful. Highly recommended experience!

Came here for breakfast with coworkers and was pleasantly surprised. Ive never tried cream cheese and lox and didn’t think I’d be a fan of it. We came here the service was friendly we started with latkes and then I got a bagel with cream cheese, smoked salmon and sturgeon it also had onions tomatoes and capers on it. Everything was delicious

Tbh as a vegetarian I come here more to hang out with friends who love the fish food than for the food itself. The French toast is good, and the coffee is bottomless. The main attraction for non vegetarians is the huge fish menu. Although it's not a kosher restaurant, the fish and dairy menus are designed to work with people who keep some form of kashrus. This place is very often very busy, so do everyone a favor, show up with your entire party, order and eat briskly, and pay cash at the counter (though they will accept cards for larger bills). A true UWS institution.

Definitely an overrated place. Maybe other dishes were better. However, that day I ate one of the worst scrambled eggs in my life. I could smell old oil in it. The poached eggs were poorly cooked and the service was barely average. We also had to recall our order because it was incomplete. This wasn't what we expected after such good reviews.
