Perhaps taking a page from the Jewish Museum, which now houses a branch of Russ & Daughters, the Museum of Jewish Heritage has unveiled , a decidedly old-school eatery with an almost nostalgic menu of Ashkenazi favorites.
As the name hints, smoked fish is the star here. It’s also where Lox cuts loose. Chef David Teyf, who operates the space, is offering up house-cured salmon pastrami-style with a house spice blend; wasabi, ginger, sake and soy infused; and double-smoked, with more creative varieties planned.

Cheese blintzes, schmaltz herring, “Grandma’s tuna salad” on black bread, “Minsk Matzo babka” and Russian coffee cake are highlights; there’s also a “Jewish bento” of three herrings with potatoes, country salad and borscht, and a challah-and-caviar sandwich with butter.

In this age of misinformation, our work is needed like never before. We report on the news that matters most to American Jews, driven by truth, not ideology.
At a time when newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall. That means for the first time in our 126-year history, Forward journalism is free to everyone, everywhere. With an ongoing war, rising antisemitism, and a flood of disinformation that may affect the upcoming election, we believe that free and open access to Jewish journalism is imperative.
Readers like you make it all possible. Right now, we’re in the middle of our Passover Pledge Drive and we need 500 people to step up and make a gift to sustain our trustworthy, independent journalism.
Make a gift of any size and become a Forward member today. You’ll support our mission to tell the American Jewish story fully and fairly.
