Amazing.

Best Bagel & Lox in NYC

Russ and Daughters in the LES.

A perfect bagel with spread and fish will set you back more than $10, but it's worth it. This is the most perfect lox and cream cheese bagel I've ever had.

I opted for the Scottish salmon, a plain bagel, horseradish cream cheese with capers.  Tomorrow I'll try something else ;o)

There certainly is no shortage of choices.

Grab a coffee and some of the delicious chocolates or pastries from the sweets counter while you're there too. Or stock up on R&D's own caviar - never know when you may need that.

Dungeness Season

It's Dungeness crab season in the Bay Area!

If you're tired if the same old crab cakes, try the House Special Chili Crab at Z&Y Restaurant in Chinatown.

I'll warn your tastebuds: it's pretty spicy. But it's also pretty awesome crab!
