There is a menu board with all the bagel sandwiches and specials available to view while you wait in line. A few tables are available to dine in. We ordered the egg and cheese on a miso bagel, the Newtown sandwich as well as the special rugelah filled with red bean. They were ready after about 10 minutes. The bagels were so fluffy and light! They also weren't gigantic like some other NY bagels. You can tell the bagels were freshly made. The Newtown was a duck egg bagel with smoked salmon, caper dill cream cheese, cucumbers and chives. The ingredients tasted so fresh! Such a unique take on the classic smoked salmon sandwich. The tutelary was flaky and had a generous red bean filling. We'll come back again soon to t try the other sandwiches and specials!

They have very limited seating but my friend and I found bar seating right away on a Friday morning. The inside was clean and the staff were friendly! No public bathrooms though. To share, we got the bacon, egg, & cheese on challah ($12.00) and classic smoked salmon bagel sandwich on an everything bagel ($16.95). The BEC was warm and comforting and very cheesy. The smoked salmon sandwich was exactly what I was expecting and loved every bite. Definitely recommend this place!

I really enjoyed my bagel at Frankel's! I can't say I've ever had a pastrami, egg, and cheese…read morebefore, but the pastrami was super soft and cravable. I also thought the eggs were cooked very nicely and were so fluffy. My only qualm was with the bagel, which I found to be harder and crunchier than a typical bagel I have in NYC. I wish it were a bit fluffier and thicker so that it didn't just taste like a super toasted piece of bread. That said, I still liked this as a sandwich and would get it again!

First time coming in person (I have been spoiled and a fantastic coworker would bring in different…read moretreats from here on occasion). The space is relatively small, with a line inside and outside and a few tables outside. The length of the line and wait time varies based on the time of day and if you go on a weekday vs weekend. Go early if you don't want them to sell out of anything or purposely go a little later if you want one of their lunch sandwiches on focaccia. I have had the tomato and garlic focaccia twice now and each time it has been exceptional. Minor critique, the slices of garlic could be a bit smaller. I also had the shakshuka focaccia which is divine and I would absolutely recommend both. I need to come back to try their sandwiches as well. I am not a sweets person, but everyone I know loves their pastries. Getting someone a gif tcard here makes for a great gift.

Dropped by Radio Bakery on the Tuesday morning after Memorial Day and the lines weren't too crazy…read more I got there in time to grab some breakfast items and baked goods, and then waited at a table outside for the lunch items to get set out around 11AM. I'm usually more of a savory girlie but all the sweet items we tried were great, especially the rhubarb croissant and the earl grey morning bun. I really enjoyed the focaccia sandwiches (smoked salmon and pea/mint/feta were elite) and the artichoke green garlic slice. The flavor of the sesame stirato was excellent but the bread itself was a tad too chewy for the filling we got with it (tuna salad), so that style probably works better with the jambon beurre. Will definitely be on the rotation whenever I'm in the city -- would love to try some of their seasonal/limited edition items one day, though not sure if I have it in me to brave the lines that can form on the weekends, lol! We'll see :)

Russ & Daughters has expanded to include a handful of restaurants around the city, but this is the…read moreoriginal fish counter. 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.
