Barney Greengrass
Website Directions 212-724-4707

Operating since 1908, Barney Greengrass is a historic Upper West Side appetizing store and deli fondly known as 'The Sturgeon King.' Visitors come to experience its retro, old-school NYC vibe alongside classic platters of Nova Scotia salmon, sturgeon, fresh bagels, and eggs. It remains an essential destination for traditional New York breakfast and brunch.

Quick tip: Arrive early in the morning to beat the peak weekend brunch crowd and ensure a shorter wait time for a table.

Expert notes

  • The most famous items from the menu are sturgeon scrambled eggs, bagel with lox, potato latkes, and cheese blintzes. Expect a long line on weekends since the restaurant is famous. There is also a grocery store under the same roof; people can buy chopped liver and other stuff to take home.
