Barney Greengrass, the century-old Upper West Side smoked-fish emporium makes only a fleeting appearance in "Extremely Loud," but it was long enough to make us want to make a trip as fast as possible to Greg's Bagels at Belvedere Square for one of the city's best selections of smoked fish, which if you're watching the movie at The Senator, is incredibly close by, right across the street as a matter of fact. That's what we call the magic of movies.
A nice appreciation of Barney Greengrass from the West Side Rag.

About Richard Gorelick

Richard Gorelick was appointed The Baltimore Sun's restaurant critic in September 2010. Before joining the paper staff fulltime, he contributed freelance criticism and features articles about food to area and regional publications. Along the way, he dispatched for short-distance trucking companies, shilled for cultural non-profits, and assisted in cognitive neurology research — never the subject, always the control. He takes restaurants seriously but not himself, and his favorite restaurant is the one you love, too.
