Russ and Daughters - overrated or worth it? I’m at one of their locations now and personally think Essa Bagels beats them in terms of taste.

Bagels are terrible but their lox is pretty good

like

Just went to their new Hudson yards location. And I agree. Lox was amazing, rest was good. Prices were painful.

If you want a truly incredible bagel, go to Absolute in Morningside.

Lol it’s really funny because growing up on the upper west, this was just a normal bagel place. Not really considered anything special.

Then over the years, a lot of competitors closed and the New York Times did a big piece on absolute and now it’s a classic.

For a bagel, I would rather go to Popup Bagels (near Washington Square) or Absolute Bagels (Morningside Heights). Some other breakfast items at Russ are pretty solid though.

I love their salmon and sturgeon, hence my go to’s are their fish & scrambled eggs combo (or eggs benny). My SO believes their sweet menu is great (French toast and bread pudding).

Kossars in LES is my go to over the Russ and daughters down there

I had the lox bagel at Russ yesterday and live near absolute - I get the everything bagel at both, and for me the quality of the lox at Russ was just so good it was the winner between the two, but absolute is excellent as well. Both I would prefer over essa/ h&h

I see. The best lox I’ve ever had was from Zabar’s 🥰

So- we run Dynamic Creative Optimization (DCO) for our clients display ads in a feed and corresponding google sheet via Google DoubleClick. My q is- does anyone know what systems out there allow for creating a template that will automatically pull a product image from say Target.com and automatically building the ad & copy without manually making 1000 ads via row for row in the google sheet? I know this is possible but curious if Sizmek or Flashtalking are more common in this type of creative development.
