The menu includes a long list of omelettes and egg sandwiches, but you're definitely going to want to try something with smoked fish. A great first order is the eggs with a side of pastrami salmon.
Lox on a bagel or sturgeon with scrambled eggs. Thank me later. This neat spot has been open forever with an old school deli charm that makes it stand out above the rest.
While you can't go wrong with basic nova lox here, there's a reason Barney Greengrass is known as The Sturgeon King—the smoked sturgeon here is rich and buttery, just like it should be.

Bruce Bromberg, chef of Blue Ribbon Restaurants, eats here on his nights off. He loves the Sturgeon, Nova Scotia salmon, & whitefish platter.
Deli maravilhosa no Upper west side
Cured fish is the focus here and there’s no better place for a fish-centric brunch. Try the whitefish salad on a bagel or the scrambled eggs with sturgeon.
A plate of sturgeon, scrambled eggs, and onions is a classic breakfast that tastes like heaven. What completes the experience? Your gruff, constantly kibitzing waiter.
Get here early on Sundays to avoid the family crowd wait
An Upper West Side staple since 1908 best known for its sturgeon. Alfred Hitchcock ordered it for delivery to Hollywood. Zagat has rated this the top NYC deli for 10+ years running.
Scrambled eggs w/ salmon and onion w/ onion bagel. Mindblowing!
Fantastic place. Smoked fish heaven.
For a totally different kind of "pancake," head to this Upper West Side Jew-food institution for awesome latkes (savory potato pancakes), and get it with either smoked salmon or sturgeon on top. mmm.
Barney Greengrass serves up favorites like the Chopped Herring Salad Sandwich that keeps Alton Brown coming back on Food Network's The Best Thing I Ever Ate. Find more tips at FN Local.

The most expensive bagel lox and creamcheese sandwich you'll ever have. Worth every penny.
Don't back down when they warn you the lox is too salty
the STURGEON KING
This classic eatery hasn't been around for 100 years for no reason - the smoked fish, latkes, and friendly waitstaff are legendary. But beware - you'll never settle for subpar lox ever again!
Best latkes evah
