Russ & Daughters, a long-established bagel shop in NYC for over 100 years, was founded in 1907 when Joel Russ moved to NYC from Poland and started selling marinated herring and smoked salmon on the Lower East Side. Joel had no sons and ran the store with his three daughters, hence the name &Daughters in the store name. Currently, the fourth generation has taken over the store, and the fact that the store has been in business for over 100 years in New York, a city undergoing rapid changes, is proof of its stable quality and continued popularity among the locals. They currently operate three stores in New York.
