"Modernist bagel shop Shelsky’s has all the plainish classics in small dense form, but it sports a few spicy outliers, like its numbing Sichuan peppercorn bagel and chili crisp cream cheese. Indicative of the appetizing shop’s contemporaneity, the preparation of the bagels here shows extra care: A sourdough starter is employed in the kitchen, actual egg goes into the the egg bagels, and chopped cheese and Taylor ham sandwiches come served on a bagel or a bialy." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff
