PrintRuss & Daughters or Barney Greengrass?
People seem to have sworn their smoked fish, bagels and cream cheese allegiance to either Russ & Daughters
I love them both, so when I want to have a plate of sturgeon, eggs and onions and not do the dishes, I go to Barney Greengrass.
There I'll be semi-graciously ignored by the waiters as they simultaneously slide my food to me as they walk away.
When I want snappy counter repartee and fantastic wild Baltic Smoked Salmon, or some herring, a bissel cream cheese and a pletzel, I head down to Russ & Daughters 
for some good-natured abuse from Mark, Herman, Josh and the rest of the Russ and Daughters gang.
And if you don't live in NYC, they both ship.

Huh. Can't believe they let you tak a picture of the family picture; they wouldn't let me. I still prefer Russ & Daughters, maybe because the interior of Barney's depresses me. How can I be depressed around so much good food? I don't know. I just am.

A man after my own heart:) Everyone gets the lox/nova eggs and onions - the sturgeon egg and onions is 1000X better - heaven on a plate.
I'm not sure why my name isn't showing up.
