A bastion of Jewish food tradition on the Lower East Side, #RussAndDaughters has been the gold standard for smoked fish for over a century, with long lines for bagels & lox. But sweets can be picked up more expeditiously, and babka, rugelach & halvah are always crowd pleasers.
My LES tours wind up quite near the sit-down #RussAndDaughters Orchard St café, but somehow I hadn't thought to stop in before.
Had cold #borscht - a rich, deep ruby-red beet puree & tiny dollop of sour cream, along with a single perfectly crisp latke & refreshing cucumber soda.
