The 12 Best Restaurants in Gainesville, Florida | Eater Miami
"The irony of food from a lavish city coming to a small college town in the South is not lost on locals. That is why Luke’s New York Bagels has maintained growing popularity since its opening in 2020. Before the bagels, eyes are caught by the shop’s bright red color. Compared to typical bagel shops, Luke’s operates a grab-and-go style, with just a window to place an order. The shop prepares 15 bagels that average mostly within $3, all made with the New York Water Maker that produces the same water native to New York City. In addition, Luke’s prepares eight flavors and nearly 400 pounds worth of shmear weekly. Although slightly more expensive, its tofu-based options are inclusive of vegan and vegetarian customers. But what most guests truly come for are the breakfast sandwiches starting at $4. Fried eggs are paired with anything from bacon and sausage to Taylor ham for $7.50 plus the price of the bagel."
