Check out the 'Sturgeon Queens'



The trailer for "Sturgeon Queens" has been making the rounds lately on the blogs… Filmmaker Julie Cohen's documentary takes a look at the 100-year history of Russ & Daughters on East Houston… featuring a mix of regulars as well as celebrity customers like Maggie Gyllenhaal … Eater notes a screening coming up on May 20 at the JCC CineMatters festival on the Upper West Side. Otherwise, you'll have to wait until PBS airs it in the fall…

Meanwhile, Russ & Daughters is celebrating their 100th anniversary this year… a time when they are expanding with a new cafe around the corner on Orchard Street…

  2. While waiting to be served take in the neighborhood chat and see why a family run business is the best kind of business. You can feel the love as soon as you walk into the place.

  3. I like to think of Barney Greengrass as the Sturgeon King and Russ&Daughters as the Sturgeon General.
