Barney Greengrass – Middle Eastern

Stepping into this legendary Upper West Side institution feels like a journey back in time, where the air is thick with the savory perfume of smoked fish and the bustling energy of a classic New York deli. Silky ribbons of Eastern Nova Scotia salmon and buttery sturgeon are hand-sliced with surgical precision, destined to be piled atop chewy, kettle-boiled bagels or toasted bialys. Golden braided challah and fragrant onion rolls round out a spread that celebrates the soul of Jewish appetizing traditions, offering a timeless taste of the city’s culinary heritage.
