What about Absolut on 107 (?) and Broadway...Still my favorite bagels in the city. I think the guy behind the counter with the funky glasses helps. Me: What’s hot? Him: Me!!!!! The joke never gets old...

was telling the two shopkeeps that I was from Montreal and I love fresh bagels etc... Both of them couldn’t give a rat’s ass about it. They may as well be working at McDonald’s or the Gap. They take absolutely...

Bagel World has a website. You absolutely must go there to see what happens when you drag the cursor. http://www.bagelworldnj.com

Wow – I stopped in today as I thought the really great bagels they serve at Brazen Head on Sundays were from Nosh. Boy was I wrong. The bagel I was served was the worst bagel I’ve ever had – including...

much could be so horrible. I don’t know how they do it, but I’ve chewed wood that had more flavor and was easier to eat. the bagel is tiny and it is absolutely impossible to chew. I drove from the parking lot to my...

I walked by Essa Bagel on 20th and 1st today, and they have been closed due to an expired permit. (NOT food violations) I don’t know how long it will take to get that fixed – but I shop for my bagels and nova on...

Where can I get a good bagel around here, specifically south Minneapolis or uptown, and specifically bagel w/ lox?

Jim’s has some of the best bagels in the Boston area (I grew up in NYC if that gives me any credibility) and Jim’s has absolutely the best whole wheat bagel I have ever eaten.

As a mis-placed American in Calgary, I was having a bit of an issue with the lack of bagel places with more than one kind of bagel/cream cheese in Calgary. I just stumbled across Wayne’s Bagels after reading about them in...

I shudder to think of the privations one has endured if one thinks that Bagel World has good bagels. A so-so crust, less than fresh poppy seeds, and a bready, absolutely uninspired interior. Not to mention the indifferent service...

I missed this thread when posting about a new bagel at Bagel Plus. They call it a ‘FLATTIE’. It’s created in the Toronto style but much thinner than the common varieties and with a more crispy/chewy outside....

center before casting my bagel expertise aside. It would have been easy for me to just recommend Friedman’s which I am absolutely sure you’ll love, but I took a chance and mentioned a few others. Life is taking...

I’ll second Bagel City bagels as well, they were always great. And they used to make the absolute best whitefish salad in the DC area, but its been years since I’ve had it there so I can’t say for sure.

IMHO, the truly best bagels are at Pick-A-Bagel in Manhattan. Is there really a better place??

It’s Sunday and I can’t decide which to have. What’s your preference? Do you use the same spreads on both or do you, as I do, have distinct go-withs for each. What about the issue of toasting? Bagels toasted,...
