David GreenDecember 11, 2013Lox was fresh, but saying their bagels are okay is being generous. My jaw got a workout. Next time I'll get it to go and use someone else's bagels
Michelin Travel & LifestyleSeptember 22, 2012Behind the counter an award-winning array of bagels & smoked fish. The sable is worth the extra shekels. - Green Guide Editor
The Gaspe salmon is sublime but don't miss the best Babka anywhere period. Chocolate or cinnamon.
Curtis ShoungDecember 1, 2013Good. As in very amazing. Waited 45 mins for a bagel with lox and cream. But worth it.
Mike ChauSeptember 29, 2012Try the Bagel with Lox and Cream Cheese - The Classic with scallion cream cheese on a sesame seed bagel- It's not hyperbole to say this store is one of the best reasons to live in NYC. In addition the Babka is THE BEST you will ever taste.
Katherine M.April 28, 2014My friend Adam says, "For fish and bagels (lox, whitefish salad and kippered salmon)."
Jonathan LevyFebruary 18, 2018Not doubt about the food here, classics done right but you may not a smile from staff every time...
Anthony De RosaOctober 6, 2012Pastrami Lox on pumpernickel. Watch how thin they slice the fish. Goes down nice with a Dr. Brown's Cel-ray
IrmaZandl ZandlSlantNovember 8, 2014A bit of a zoo. I much prefer their new cafe on orchid street. Great selection.
Tolga GApril 24, 2014Western nova smoked salmon and Norwegian smoked salmon yum yum yum... delicious............
Nina LoSchiavoJune 24, 2015Insanely overpriced for a lox bagel, but worth a trip one time for the experience. Salmon is of the utmost highest quality.
pastrami lox on an everything bagel. fantastic. go for the mini bagel if you're not starving.
Try the Classic with Wild Western Nova and horseradish cream cheese on a plain bagel. Looking for something more decadent, go for the Daughter's Delight; rich but perfect.
Seth GordonOctober 22, 2011A must for any visitor. Just grab a bagel with your choice of lox, eat in the mini park just West on Houston. Perfection.
Matt NewbergNovember 15, 2013Grab a sandwich and eat it next door at preserve 24. That bagel speakeasy life.
MuseumNerdNovember 17, 2011Get to noshin' on some Hamantaschen! Then pray to God that they keep collaborating with James Cohan Gallery who's put some brilliant video art in he window!
Agatha YuDecember 11, 2014Once you enter, grab the number tag to your left. Otherwise you won't be served!- Great selection of different loxes and cream cheeses. Try them all!
Jen AshkenazieMarch 8, 2014Bagel w/ Scottish lox and horseradish cream cheese wish the bagels were better quality can't wait for the restaurant to open
etta yFebruary 12, 2012Of course the fish is wonderful, but check out the selection of breads and crackers and cheese too.
Omar ElddinDecember 30, 2015Ordered a Bagel with lox and cream cheese, was very very good but the bagel itself could have been fresher.
Rob HadleyMarch 12, 2012You can order an egg cream or coffee and some licorice at the coffee counter while you wait for your turn at the fish counter...
My go-to: Everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, Gaspe Nova, tomato, red onion. THE BEST
Loren ShulmanMarch 5, 2013Bagel with lox cream cheese was amazing has everything a nice jewish girl loves
One of my top 3 NYC foodie spots. Go gravlax and sable. Other two: Sahadis and East Village Cheese.
Kate ShawAugust 14, 2011The best smoked salmon in the city. Apparently, there's some kept in "the vault" that they'll bring out when requested.
SFebruary 9, 2011Best caviar try the hackleback caviar with bread butter and lime yummy. It is worth every single penny
