For nearly 100 years, people have made the trek to New York City’s Lower East Side to buy smoked herring and lox at the famed Russ and Daughters emporium. Four generations of the Russ family have kept the iconic store afloat – from patriarch and founder Joel Russ, who left the store in his daughters’ hands, to the present owners, his great-grandchildren, who struggle to bring the little store into the 21st Century.
