Barney Greengrass

Founded in 1908, this timeless restaurant’s latkes were once an off-menu item only whispered about by those in the know. But Barney Greengrass has shifted its latkes to center stage. Nicknamed the “The Sturgeon King,” the spot has been serving latkes with a smooth interior and golden and crispy outside for more than a century now, so stop by for six packs with sour cream and applesauce—you’ll be surrounded by those honoring decades-long traditions and others starting their own.
