Russ & Daughters, Appetizing store in Lower East Side, Manhattan, US.
Russ & Daughters is an appetizing store in Lower East Side that sells smoked fish, caviar, bagels, and traditional Jewish cold appetizers from its historic storefront. The shop offers a wide range of these specialty items displayed throughout the space.
Joel Russ started by selling herring from a street cart in 1904 before opening a permanent store in 1914. In 1935, he made his three daughters partners in the business, which shaped the store's future direction.
The store reflects a shopping style that grew from Jewish dietary laws separating meat and dairy products. This tradition still shapes how products are selected and displayed in the shop today.
The shop is easily accessible from the street and welcomes customers for in-store shopping, phone orders, or online purchases. For those visiting from elsewhere, nationwide shipping is also available.
The store was one of the first American businesses to include women's names prominently in its company name. This decision to highlight the daughters stood out in the business world at the time.
