Russ & Daughters in the Brooklyn Navy Yard is our Appetizing Factory. In 2019, Russ & Daughters opened in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.
This location provides both the retail and restaurant experience to museum-goers and the general public alike. In 2015, after 101 years solely on the Lower East Side, Russ & Daughters expanded uptown with the opening of Russ & Daughters at the Jewish Museum. In 2013, The Russ family and Russ & Daughters became the subjects of the critically acclaimed documentary, “The Sturgeon Queens.” Produced and Directed by Julie Cohen, the Sturgeon Queens has been a favorite of critics and audiences at film festivals around the world, and it has aired on PBS stations.ġ00 year later, on the very same street where Joel Russ first stood outside and sold his herrings out of a barrel, his great-grandchildren, Josh and Niki Russ, continued the legacy and opened the Russ & Daughters Cafe. Russ & Daughters’ contributions as such a long-standing family business and community anchor have been recognized by the New York City Mayor’s Office, the Manhattan Chamber of Commerce, The Smithsonian Institution, The Foundation for Jewish Culture, and State Senator Daniel Squadron who introduced a resolution that was unanimously passed by the New York State Senate “Commending Russ and Daughters upon the occasion of celebrating its 100th Anniversary.” In the United States, less than 1% of family businesses survive long enough to enter the fourth generation. Russ & Daughters entered its fourth generation of ownership in 2009, when cousins Josh Russ Tupper and Niki Russ Federman took the helm. Mark Russ Federman wrote an acclaimed memoir, “Russ & Daughters: the House that Herring Built,” which vividly recounts the history of Russ & Daughters and his time running it. For thirty years, together with his wife, Maria, they ran Russ & Daughters and made it into a New York destination, despite the Lower East Side’s reputation in those years as a rough and tumble neighborhood. In 1979, when the daughters and their husbands were ready to retire, Mark Russ Federman, Anne’s son, decided to leave his legal career and become the third generation owner. The daughters married men who also joined the business. Russ & Daughters is the first business in the United States to have “& Daughters” in its name.

In 1935, he made his daughters full partners and changed the name to Russ & Daughters, a bold and controversial move. Having no sons, Joel Russ required his three lovely daughters - Hattie, Ida, and Anne - to work in the store from the time they were teenagers.
In 1920, he moved the store around the corner to 179 East Houston Street, where it has been ever since. The original store was on Orchard Street. It took him seven years to work his way up from that first herring barrel to having a pushcart operation, a horse and wagon, and then, in 1914, a brick and mortar store. He got his start selling schmaltz herring out of a barrel to the throngs of Eastern European Jews on the Lower East Side. In 1907, Joel Russ immigrated from the shtetl of Strzyzow, now part of modern day Poland. For over 100 years, Russ & Daughters - and now the Russ & Daughters Cafe - has been an integral part of the history of New York City, a touchstone in the lives of generations, and the torchbearer of Jewish food in America.
