Barney Greengrass is an institution in New York, serving some of the best smoked fish in the city. The casual atmosphere makes it a great place for kids, and while you enjoy lox, smoked sturgeon, and whitefish on one of their huge Smoked Fish Platters (one is enough for two people) picky eaters will be delighted with bagels, chocolate babka, potato pancakes and a variety of egg dishes.

Tip: Arrive early on weekends as this is a popular brunch spot.
