"Can a bagel have a backstory? A couple years ago, bagel maker Andrew Rubinstein sold his stake in Rubinstein Bagels — the business he had built up from a pop-up — to go back to tinkering with his recipe. After musing about opening a bagel shop on the Eastside, he instead planted Hey Bagel in January in University Village, to wild amounts of hype. These bagels are worth it: crispy, blistered, chewy, and hot. You don’t even need cream cheese. Expect a crowd." - Harry Cheadle
