Formica tables, a tin ceiling, peeling wallpaper of old Manhattan, and smoked fish that has been the benchmark for a hundred years. The scrambled eggs with sturgeon and onion is the order, and it arrives looking like nothing and tasting like the reason people keep coming.

Cash was the rule here for a very long time. The room has not changed much since.

What to know
