The Best Restaurants and Cafes in Portland’s Old Town-Chinatown | Eater Portland
"Those hunting for a proper New York bagel will find what they’re looking for at this compact counter-service spot, helmed by NYC native-turned-Portland-transplant Michael Madigan. In classic NYC bagel shop fashion, sidle up to the case to choose from varieties like plain, everything, poppy seed, and sea salt, prepared with a schmear or as a breakfast sandwich. Served on bagels, rolls, or bread, there are plenty of familiar favorites in the breakfast sandwich category like BECs and the Sarah’s Special with house-made gravlax on caper schmear, as well as new creations like the Oliver Lent with egg, caramelized onions, and Gruyere cheese. Lunch sandwiches come with fillings like house-cured pastrami and salumi slices with Provolone." - Zoe Baillargeon
