I woke up so hungry, pains in the stomach, and a big headache type of hungry. I wasn't really in the mood for anything fancy or a place where I had to deal with waiters. I heard of Russ and Daughters through my friend that admires smoked salmon as much as I do. As I muster up the energy to peel myself from my bed this morning, and head down 3 NY blocks to get to Russ and Daughters. Passing numerous coffee shops and pastries, I held out for this so called "must eat before you die smoked salmon."



As I walked in the places was just opening, everyone wore long white coats and were extremely happy to be serving lox, caviar, bagels, and more. Who can resist homemade double whipped cream cheese? I ordered a wheat bagel, covered with caviar cream cheese, smoked salmon, tomato and capers. Here's the worst part there was no where to sit in Russ and Daughters. As I left, my bagel wrapped up in a brown bag to go, I headed out the door towards my hotel. I couldn't wait to sink my teeth into this customized bagel.



As I got into the room, ripping open the bag, to get to the ready to eat bagel. Oh, that was worth the wait the smoked salmon was decadent and the tomato was so sweet, and the caviar cream cheese...yum yum yum. I highly recommend stopping by this well like NYC deli.
