Barney Greengrass

Barney Greengrass is a delicatessen in the old world tradition. The obsessive dedication to hand-selected fish specialties has made it a New York tradition since 1908. It is well-worth the trip to this mecca of nosh to experience "The Sturgeon King's" commitment to Epicurean excellence. With so many traditional delicatessan specialities, where to begin? Do make sure to try the chopped liver as well as a traditional breakfast of lox, onions & eggs. If you prefer to take out, you can do no finer than a bagel with schmear and pastrami salmon, possibly the most luxurious and finest bagel sandwich in all of New York. Immortalized in Jane & Michael Stern's "Roadfood" book, also make sure you kibbitz a bit with the owner, for the family's dedication to quality and to its customers is legendary.
