Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway: Russ & Daughters
Every day through January 1 we're giving away a crazy good food item on Serious Eats. Try your luck, and if you win, you'll be eating some seriously delicious food come the new year.
Today's Seriously Delicious Holiday Food Giveaway is a New York Nostalgia package from Russ & Daughters.
I've known Russ & Daughters' Mark Federman and his family ever since I came to New York 32 years ago. When I knew very few people here I used to come to Russ & Daughters to kibitz and just feel like I belonged somewhere. It's a place I still visit for shelter from any storm—and for the company and the Russ family's incredible food. They know smoked fish like very few other people in this world.
The package includes: one pound of Gaspé Atlantic smoked salmon, a half-pound of sliced smoked sable, one pint house-cured herring fillets in cream sauce with pickled onions, one pound of natural cream cheese with chive, eight authentic New York bagels, one pound of old-fashioned rugelach, and a piece of old-fashioned marble halvah. —Ed Levine
To win, just answer this in the comments below: What's your favorite New York brunch food?
PS: If you just can't wait for this contest to be over and want to order now from Russ & Daughters, we have a special Serious Eats promo code you can use for a 10 percent discount. Just mention SERIOUSRUSS when ordering on the phone (not applicable to online orders). Visit russanddaughters.com for phone numbers.
You have until 3 p.m. ET tomorrow (December 30) to enter. One winner will be chosen at random from among the commenters. Contest winners are limited to residents of the continental U.S., and you can only win once during the duration of the Seriously Delicious Holiday Giveaway contest. The standard Serious Eats contest rules apply.

Nothing specific, but when I visit I am SOO excited to get some amazing pastries that aren't so widely available upstate here. And NY bagels for some reason are sooo much better than anywhere else....
And I'd have to second the left-over pizza, too, depending on the events from the night before.

Well I dont live close enough to go to Russ and Daughters but I perked when I saw this article as they were on the Martha Stewart Show on Dec 22. They brought bagels, cream cheese and smoked salmon for the show guests and my mouth was watering. If I ever get to NYC, it will be on my list of places to visit for sure.

when i was growing up, a lavish brunch always included zito's pork bread. these days, i sometimes get the parisi prosciutto ring at faicco's, but i remember zito's as more peppery, possessed of a moister crumb, and liable to have little chunks of cured pork in it rather than the shreds i too often find in the parisi product. still a fine addition to the brunch table though.
daddyo at 4:47PM on 12/29/08
Eggs florentine from Pastis--the spinach is perfectly cooked and creamy with garlic, and the english muffin is totally butter drenched. Plus it comes in an adorable mini cast iron skillet.
Plus a bloody mary and cappucino. A nap worthy meal.

My favorite NY breakfast item would have to be bagels with cream cheese and lox. When I was little, my mom used to eat that too and I couldn't stand the taste of it. Now though I love it. I actually love pickled herring in cream sauce now too and I couldn't stand it growing up. Thanks for the contest!

Wolfgang Puck's Lox & cream cheese pizza. I think it even has a few capers on it. Anyway, it is a great twist on the traditional lox, cheese, & bagel.
