It’s 10 AM on a tranquil weekend morning. The shower is running, and the steam is slowly clearing away the remnants of last night’s escapades. As the kettle begins to whistle, signaling the promise of a warm cup of coffee, a familiar sensation sets in: hunger. And not just any hunger- this is a craving for something substantial, something comforting. Enter the bagel: the quintessential morning sustenance.

A well-made bagel, with its perfect balance of a crisp crust and a chewy interior, can transform a simple morning into an event. But not all bagels are created equal, and finding the perfect one requires a discerning eye and a keen sense of taste.

For those in search of the ultimate bagel experience, we’ve compiled a list of the city’s top spots. Whether you prefer your bagel with a classic schmear, loaded with lox, or topped with innovative ingredients, these locations have you covered.
