For years I have driven past Russ and Daughters on East Houston Street in lower Manhattan. I remember the first time I saw "and daughters" I did a double take because "and sons" is common, but I had never seen a business named to included daughters! Joel Russ opened this legendary New York appetizing shop in 1914. He and his wife had three daughters, all of whom worked in the store. In 1940 the progressive Mr. Russ made his daughters partners and so Russ and Daughters was born. Today it is still a family owned business and the Russ' great grand-daughter works at the store.
