Russ & Daughters

Tried the bagel place for breakfast/lunch at the lower east side.

This place is known for their lox bagels. And that’s exactly what I got (the original). Honestly it was really good. Got it with a sesame bagel, original cream cheese, tomato, onions and scallions. The salmon they used I wasn’t quite sure what it was, but it was good.

Katz’s

First Jewish deli I’ve been to in New York City!

Ordered the recommended sandwich, the Bot pastrami sandwich with pickles. Also got a matzah soup. Everything was great! Would go back.

Ps. There was a line, but it went by pretty fast. Also, you don’t pay until you leave (they stamp your ticket and give you a receipt in order to exit).
