The best Jewish food in New York, according to the experts: The New York Times, the Michelin Guide, and Eater have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Russ & Daughters Cafe comes out on top, and the good stuff runs deepest in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Rank 1. Russ & Daughters Cafe
Old-School Jewish Café
The smoked fish counter on Orchard Street has been an institution since forever, and Russ & Daughters is the appetizing shop New York trots out whenever it needs to prove a point. White-jacketed servers, a pristine deli case, egg creams, bagels, and Scottish salmon done multiple ways. The Michelin Bib Gourmand nod keeps it honest: the food is the whole point, and the regulars at the counter have known that for years.
