shopping sleuth - where to buy Gefilte fish the day after passover

So we drove into manhattan to pick up  9 pieces of Gefilte fish and Matzoh ball soup at Citarella the day after Passover - Lo and behold,  both the downtown and uptown Citarellas were sold out of the stuff - Shocking but true. So shopping sleuth that I am , it occured to me to drive down to Russ & Daughters on Houston Street. As Jeff drove the car, I called ahead and a woman ( a daughter? ) answered the phone and in the most cheerful voice said "Of course we have Gefilte fish - 3 different kinds . And Matzoh Ball Soup, homemade horseradish and other passover fare". I told her we would be right there -

Russ & Daughters was packed. It's an old fashion style deli filled to the gills with lox, bagels, chocolates, all kinds of caviar ( wasabi caviar?)  and all styles of macaroons and other jewish style goodies.

 It also has a splendid selection of cheeses and packaged goods like olive oils, teas and fresh coffee. It's a beautiful and warm shop with a friendly group of salespeople anxiously filling orders, slicing lox perfectly  and moving  fast and efficiently.

I felt very at home  at Russ & Daughters. It was as if I had been transported to New York in the early 20th century and I was living in a coldwater flat on the lower eastside -

I  decided to never go anywhere else for my gefilte fish and other passover foods. Russ and Daughters is the place to be.
