"Occupying a tidy, New York subway-tiled space on the edge of the Pearl District, this downtown bagel shop serves a bakers’ dozen of bagel varieties — including pumpernickel. Bagels clock in on the smaller side compared to other Portland establishments, so patrons here often gravitate toward breakfast sandwiches like the popular ham-egg-and-cheese Simon Benson and the vegan sausage-egg-and-cheese Jesse Applegate. Bowery also has a weekday-only location inside PSU’s Smith Memorial Building." - Daniel Barnett, Brooke Jackson-Glidden, Nathan Williams
