Barney Greengrass, the legendary Sturgeon King, is 100 today and they will be selling food at 1908 prices for those who stop in and eat at their Amsterdam Avenue shop.

That means: 60 cents for herring and 75 cents for chopped liver.

Barney Greengrass is one of the great NY Places. It may be a tad crowded today but if you’re in the neighborhood have some lox and bagel. I grew up a few blocks from there and we used to go all the time. The place hasn’t changed a bit since 1908 and I am not exaggerating. On any day, it’s a blast from the past with 2008 prices. I can still see the guys in their white coats cutting the smoked salmon. Below is more info. If you have a Barney Greengrass tory they want to hear it (sounds like they’re compiling an archive).

As a celebration and a thank you to our loyal customers, on Wednesday, June 11th, 2008, Barney Greengrass will be rolling back our menu prices to those of 1908. Please note: ***The restaurant will be open from 8:30AM-4:00PM. ***Sorry, no reservations, no substitutions (any items not on special menu will be sold at 2008 prices!) ***We will take CASH or a CHECK ONLY! ***This special celebration is only available on this day, 06/11/08 and is only available for eat-in customers. Thank you for helping us celebrate 100 years of excellence.

Over the past 100 years, we have made a lot of memories. Do have any favorite Greengrass stories? Please share any of your experiences, events or anecdotes that Barney Greengrass has been a part of. We’d love to add some of your memories to our archives. Email to 100years@barneygreengrass.com. Thank you for being a part of our history and our future…

Some things shouldn’t change; like our obsessive dedication to hand chosen fish specialties and our nearly 100 year old Greengrass character. But some things should; like making those traditions available on line! When you’re not in New York (or if you’re just a typically busy New Yorker) you can now turn to our website to experience “The Sturgeon King’s” commitment to Epicurean excellence. But, if you’re near our store we expect you to stop in and soak up some of the Greengrass tradition!
