at Russ & Daughters

"Classic Bagel and Lox at Russ & Daughters — the bagel is hand-rolled, boiled, and baked. The lox is sliced paper-thin from a whole side of cured salmon. The cream cheese is softened to room temperature. This is the dish that defines the category in New York."

"The nova salmon at Russ & Daughters has been cured the same way for over a century. It's silky, not too salty, with a clean ocean finish. The everything bagel from the H&H connection is the right vehicle. The combination is a New York institution for good reason."
