Barney Greengrass

“BGG is a NY institution with decor that makes you feel like you are stepping back in time,” says Annie Baron of this Upper West Side staple. “My go-to order is always a toasted bagel with lox (or whitefish), cream cheese, capers, tomato, onion and of course a black and white cookie.” Barney Greengrass prides itself on its fish specialties—which includes a range of caviar and smoked fish spreads. Other menu items include omelettes, soups, salads and sandwiches and delicious deserts.
