"A Newton staple for almost half a century, Rosenfeld’s opened in 1973, when its namesake Mark Rosenfeld decided to give up a career in law to make bagels. Over time, the shop became a destination for families all over Boston, and it now serves more than 20 types of bagels, bialys, several spreads, smoked fish, and more bagel accoutrements. The bagels are nicely crusty on the outside and soft and slightly chewy inside." - Valerie Li Stack, Dana Hatic
