It was the best of bagels, it was the worst of bagels... Actually, after returning from Montreal today it was really the tale of good, but very different bagels all around. Folks moan about the lousy Boston bagels, (and Finagle is...

Finagle from Boston, my favorite chain bagel. There is one in Parsippany (by my work) that I dont remember the name but they are legit.

I have to agree...I remember with definite concern, my reaction when Finagle a Bagel came into Reading competing with Bagel World. I even suggested to the owner, Stan (a Pole!) that perhaps he should offer sandwiches with bread,...

One of my favorite things about New York is a deli where I can get "real bagel" with cream cheese thick smoked whitefish, trout, salmon. Anything like this in Boston? (e.g. I am not a fan of Finagle a Bagel).

I’d take finagle a bagel over anything in New York.

In Needham (& Dedham) Cafe Bagel is very good, though the service is sometimes curt; Bagel's Best in Needham is good too. Of the chains, Finagle is the choice.

've had are Rosenfelds in Newton Center. Kupel’s on Harvard Ave. in Brookline seem to have gone downhill... they’re definitely better than Finagle a Bagel or supermarket bagels but not the same as they once were I...

Well, not yet. The menu in the window at the new Z-Square in Harvard Square (in the old Finagle a Bagel location) lists a chacarero. They were doing some work in there when I was there and a woman standing nearby said they were...

Is that where Finagle a Bagel used to be? They had a huge lower level and I am curious to find out what is going on down there. Edited to add: A google search turned this up: http://www.thecrimson.com/article.aspx?ref=512624 It...

286 Cambridge Street in Boston. Near MGH and across the street from Finagle A Bagel.

There is a Finagle A Bagel right at the intersection of Tremont and Winter, directly across from the Park Street T exit. Freshly-made bagels, along with plenty of flavors of cream cheese, juice, et cetera. Link:...

I think Zaftig’s chicken caser salad is very good. They’re in Coolidge Corner, Brookline —long lines on weekends, beware. For chains, Finagle a Bagel's chicken caesar isn’t too bad. I don’t like...

at the end of Eighth St in the Navy Yard. There is also Finagle a Bagel and the Black Goose Deli all of which are in the Navy Yard. Mass General at Building 149 also has a cafe that is not too bad.

oh, i forgot about finagle-a-bagel. i have been surprised in the past by how good some of their sandwiches were; i’ll have to go back. nashoba sounds great, too. thanks!

here’s a suggestion that you’ll not like given your salt aversion this but I am answering anyway, it’s downtown (although a chain) and one of my favorites: Finagle a Bagel: bacon, egg, and cheese on a salt bagel....
