In 1907, a Jewish immigrant named Joel Russ landed in New York City, where he took a pushcart of herring and built a legendary destination for Jewish appetizing that would pass down through his family for more than a hundred years. Four generations later, the ancestral heart of Russ & Daughters continues to thrive on the Lower East Side, with three more locations throughout the city.Encompassing history, tradition, and delicious food, Russ & Daughters: 100 Years of Appetizing shares insider anecdotes from the family and characters on both sides of the counter. The cookbook includes guides to its most famed offerings—smoked salmon, sable, sturgeon, herring, and caviar—plus over 100 recipes for latkes, matzo ball soup, babka, and bagels, among other favorites.
Cousins Niki Russ Federman and Josh Russ Tupper are fourth-generation co-owners of Russ & Daughters and were both featured in the award-winning documentary, The Sturgeon Queens.
They’ll be in conversation with Daniel Pink, the author of seven bestselling books about business, work, creativity, and behavior, including The Power of Regret, A Whole New Mind, and When, as well as the #1 New York Times bestsellers Drive and To Sell is Human. His favorite item on the Russ & Daughters menu? Borscht.
After the program, meet the authors and feast on Russ & Daughters classics (straight from the Lower East Side) at a tasting (limited spots).
