"Apollo Bagels from Joey Scalabrino (of Leo in Williamsburg) first opened in the East Village in the spring following a few runs as a pop-up in locations around the city (and the world); it quickly expanded to the West Village. Next up is a location in Williamsburg (133 N. Seventh, at Berry Street) debuting “in a few weeks,” Scalabrino confirms. After that, it’s Hoboken (324 Washington Street, between Third and Fourth streets). The bagel that “leans toward bread” is especially good for sandwiches, critic Robert Sietsema notes, like the one with smoked salmon, cream cheese, capers, onion, and dill ($15)." - Melissa McCart
