Nostalgia in a book. What a great book that makes me crave herring and proper bagels. A fun well written piece of Jewish and New York history. A very enjoyable must read.

Not the most brilliantly written book, but a wonderful window into a world that I love: Russ & Daughters! Russ Federman gives a nice overview of not only his family business, but the Lower East Side of the 1920s and onward. Definitely a better read if you, like me, are an aficionada of their lox & sable, but recommended to any food mavens.

If you're a goy with a deep love of Jewish culture and New York history, as I am, this is a delight. Mark Russ Federman, grandson of the founder, is an accomplished writer and story teller. It's a thin read and gets repetitious in places, but who needs too much herring?
