    Iced cafe slush
    Jamie D.

    This has been all over tik tok so I just had to try. Staff were super friendly. Didn't rush us to order as it was our first time. The frozen drink was delicious nothing I've ever had before. The sandwiches it self was good but I wouldn't go crazy over it. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Small place so have the intention of taking it to go.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would come back to try something else because the staff were very welcoming.

    The Edith

    Went for lunch on Memorial Day - was lucky to avoid the long line that is typical at their west village location. The slushie (not pictured) was truly special as always, however their sandwiches didn't wow us. Smoked turkey hero had fantastic components but was the construction was subpar, and the namesake sandwich was just another Ruben

    Ordered lunch for delivery - totkes and a smoked turkey club - and both were fantastic. I've also tried the breakfast wraps and famed cold brew tahini shake numerous times at their WV location. So good!

    The Carmela

    I had to find out what all the rave was about with the Carmela sandwich at Edith's this year! When I saw that this beauty of a bite was making a comeback after selling out, I made sure to get my order in for pick-up the weekend before Thanksgiving. Every nook and cranny on this sandwich was bursting with flavor, and totally lived up to the hype (and I'm not even a huge fan of turkey.) In addition to the sandwich, I also tried the Latkes and Chocolate Babka, which was insanely chocolatey and delicious! While I haven't tried any other items yet, I'm sure they're all equally delicious. If it's still on the menu, run to get your Carmela before it's gone!

    I saw pictures of the coffee slushy and it looked so good and cute that I wanted one too. Sumner is almost ending and today was pretty warm so I decided to go get one. It is pretty expensive but it's worth the price! It cost me around $9 with tax and all. The slushy has tahini, oat milk, and cold brew coffee in it. It looks very cool in the cup. It's brown and white all over the place! Very nice design this slushy makes. I drank it really slow to enjoy this slushy and it was very refreshing. Not overly sweet at all either! It's like mildly bitter sweet! Tastes so good! I will get another one next time I pass by here. It's also cool the lid has a huge opening for the big straw.

    Edith's was a hit! We stopped here for an early lunch after a late night and I absolutely would come back. The line was pretty small despite the place being packed, because they move fast. [[HIGHLIGHT]]A lot of people carrying out, or eating outside or around in the neighborhood, as there's limited seating inside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] First, they are known for their frozen cafe slushie which is basically a frozen coffee. The texture was great and something about frozen coffee is perfect for a hangover. Then, we split the chicken tahini Caesar crunch wrap which was very unique and refreshing. It was like a chicken Caesar but with tahini and kale instead of caesar salad. I wish we had the appetite to try a bagel sandwich with latke, but not this time. But, because it was so good and had fast service, we will be back!

    I was skeptical about an overpriced sandwich place but it was great. The ice cafe slush was refreshing and sweet. I also got the BEC&L on an everything bagel (not pictured) and that was great as well - loved the house sauce on this. Only gripe was it was a bit overpriced (as with a lot of things in the city), the meal ran me about $25. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also don't have any seating, except for a measly two chairs out on the storefront.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]A lot of people just end up loitering at nearby stores or stoops.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]]

    Sephardi Breakfast Wrap
    Pratima M.

    Easily one of my new favorite breakfast spots in the city -- the Sephardi Wrap was delicious, super filling and I appreciated the flexibility to sub avocado to make it vegetarian. The Latke Tots were super crispy, would definitely get the share!

    Finally, after all this time of peering at the speckled oat milk tahini iced coffee slushie on socials, the stars aligned (meaning the traffic wasn't crazy for once) and I sucked that caffeinated bev down full knowing I had to wake up early for work the next morning. There were crunchy ice crystal moments, tempered by the smooth and bitter (contradicting?), nutty tahini. And no, I'm not an animal and I didn't pair my coffee with their Perfect Tuna Melt--the tuna was enjoyed at home after the cheeses had cooled down a little. The sandwich travels well on griddled seedy rye but for $15, I'm finding that I can make a tuna sandwich just as good. Dollar for dollar, the tuna melt here, the tuna sandwich at Radio Bakery, the tunaberry and yasha at Court Street Grocers, and the tuna melt and tunaberry at S&P lunch, and the tuna melt at Golden Diner are all great options if you're unable to source great bread and tuna. At $15, the Edith's tuna melt is the second cheapest of the listed sandwiches (Radio Bakery checks in at $14.50, but is not grilled). The totkes are worth trying however you can probs skip the Cooper's sharp cheese sauce. Their cheese sauce is made from scratch and could benefit from a touch more of sodium citrate and a longer cook--the sauce cooled down and felt a little grainy.

    Oat milk and tahini slushy

    I'm not sure how this place doesn't have a full five stars. The staff is very friendly. I am a big breakfast person and I go out to eat often a very good judge of food. This place has the best breakfast sandwiches I have ever had in New York City. By far the best scrambled eggs I've ever tasted. Highly recommend recommended very unique menu, traditional, breakfast items, and sandwiches, but everything has a twist.

    Had the Edith & the Sephardi, also tried the coffee tahini slush, latke and choco chip cookies. The wait for food was about 30mins after ordering so we came back. We enjoyed the sandwiches but the Edith's bread was a bit too crunchy and greasy for my liking, but their pastrami is good (meaty and not too salty). The Sephardi is worth the hype though, the exterior is super flakey, reminds me of a scallion pancake. I would pass on the coffee tahini slush next time. The cookies were soooo thin, very crispy, chewy & buttery, I would get again. Would def come back to try more items on their menu!

    bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on everything bagel
    Vivian L.

    [[HIGHLIGHT]]It is a very small shop, you order, and I would say stand outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They will call your name and/or you would need to go inside to check and pick up your order. I got the bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich on an everything bagel and it was good! The sauce that they had on a side was a nice touch, and I also picked up some of the tabasco sauce packets for some spice! [[HIGHLIGHT]]There are only 3 seating areas outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The only "negative" thing is that, I think $14-15 for that sandwich is a bit pricey! Other than that, it was really filling.

    Middle Eastern
    Adi M.

    Wanted to love this place. Don't know that it hit the mark. Got excited by the Israeliness of it but the final product got lost in translation. The menu is really fun and creative and maybe I just ordered the wrong thing. But I will say the ice cafe really was the best part of my meal. The tchina added an extra fullness to an already over the top beverage but in a good way. I will come back solely for that and try a malawach sandwich instead of a bagel. I got the middle eastern, being middle eastern myself I expected something more of in your face with loads of different spices, seasonings, and flavors. It all sort of fell flat in a heavy heart attack inducing cream (I don't know from what), egg and cheese? It was supposed to be a shakshuka, what I received was an omelet with a few tomatoes and pounds of (what was supposed to be garlic aioli) mayonnaise and farmers cheese. I honestly couldn't eat it after one bite but was hungry so ate half of it and felt sick for the next few minutes and threw the other half out. I really really want to try this place again because I think there's a lot of potential. Hoping for a better experience was just extremely disappointed the first time around.

    The bagel was good but $4.75 for a bagel with plain cream cheese? Did Jesus Christ himself knead this bagel?

If you are in the neighborhood, you should pop in and buy something to show your respect. What you should buy is the herring. And specifically, if you happen to be lucky enough to stroll in during Holland Herring season in June/July, that is the herring to get. Even if you just had a giant meat based meal a couple doors down, you can still make room for one herring. Consider it the Jewish equivalent of surf and turf. Although one of my friends said visiting both LES icons was more akin to a "bang bang". Sometimes it's the small shops that make the biggest mark. This is certainly the case with R&D. The place is tiny, but the fish is mighty. I can't speak highly enough about the Holland Herring. So silky. So delicate. So much fun to eat. Held up by the tail, dragged through a mix of chopped onions and pickles, and lowered down into your awaiting mouth. These things are large. They are going to take a few good sized bites. Enjoy the contrast of textures and flavors. Tilting your head back to eat it almost demands that you close your eyes and savor every moment. Yes, the entire herring case is a marvel. While most folks will walk out of R&D with nova (what most people call lox, but is really cold smoked salmon), the real score is the sable and sturgeon. Or, if you are a salt lover, you can get legitimate belly lox here too. It satisfies the soul to see an appetizing store holding the line. Sure, you can put your smoked fish on a bagel or bialy with cream cheese. However, I submit that fish this good should really be enjoyed in its purest form. Maybe if you want to cut the salt, lay some on a thin piece of old world 100% rye bread. Not the squishy deli stuff, but the hard eastern European kind. Perhaps a dolop of sour cream. A few chives if feeling fancy. My old cantor used to love creamed herring with pickled onions on chunks of challah. If you go the herring route and it's not Holland Herring season, I fully endorse this approach. But don't sleep on the Holland Herring. Get one. Eat it on the bench outside or bring it across the street and eat it standing up in the park. I heard rumor that once upon a time folks would eat them right at the counter. That seems a little messy for my taste, but far be it from me to keep a herring lover from their delightful fishy morsels.

    I was in the neighborhood looking for a bagel place to eat and a nice person recommended this spot…read more So I went there to try them out. It's a pretty spacious bagel spot with ample seating menu's with pricing for all items they sell which is helpful. Food: 3/5 I ordered a jalapeño bagel with turkey bacon, and scrambled eggs. The bagel was okay nothing to rave about your standard bagel. Nothing to make me fave about it. The texture was chewy and a bit doughy if you like your bagels that texture this may be the spot for you. Overall my bagel was about 10-12$ I believe. They charge extra for a rainbow bagel and other specialty bagels like jalapeño. Which is pretty expensive so make sure you're aware of that. Service: 3/5 The customer service was mediocre. The guy at the front wasn't the most pleasant. Very much get you in an out top of place. They weren't rude but not the most cheerful I'd say. Ambiance: 3/5 standers bagel shop nothing really impressive or spectacular. I will say when in the area due to the lack of places to eat that make REAL food. I have come back here and the bagels have been decent. Would like the staff to be more pleasant.
