Russ & Daughters Appetizers
Happy #internationalwomensday and to celebrate we are highlighting this amazing historic Lower East Side family-owned business @russanddaughters which is believed to be the first shop to have ever used the words “& Daughters” in its official name as businesses were usually passed from father to son! It is now co-owned by @nikirussfederman the great granddaughter of its founder. Russ & Daughters Appetizers also has one of our favorite #neon signs in all of NYC as it not only has gorgeous channel letters in two different colors but the store’s name is also flanked by two neon whitefish in a downward dog pose. Although the shop itself dates back to 1914, the #neonsign was installed in 1951 and refurbished by @lettherebeneon in 2008.
