Murray's Sturgeon Shop is a gourmet store and neighborhood fixture in Manhattan's Upper West Side. It is located on Broadway between 89th Street and 90th Street.
The shop was founded by Murray Bernstein in 1945.[1] A few years later, his brother, Sam, became a co-owner.[1] The Bernsteins were born in Poland and immigrated to New York in the 1930s to escape anti-semitism.[1]
The store specializes in smoked fish, especially sturgeon, and caviar.[1][2] In 1964, the New York Times described it as "one of the busiest places on Broadway" and praised its products as "first quality".[2] The store ships their fish all over the world, and in 1980 Murray's appetizers were being sold at the Neiman Marcus Epicure Shop in White Plains, New York.[3]
Show business personalities Sammy Cahn and Zero Mostel were regulars at the shop.[4]
Sam Bernstein died in 1977 and Murray Bernstein died in 2000.[1][4]
