Known For
The lowdown
A Formica-clad shrine to smoked fish and everything else that defines the dying art of Jewish appetizing. No one’s stopping you from ordering cheese blintzes, chopped liver, even caviar. But that’s not why you’re here. You’re here to savor Barney’s raison d’être: the holy trinity of sturgeon, Nova, or lox scrambled with eggs and onion, with a bagel and cream cheese on the side.
