"This bagel shop has been a Queens staple since opening in 1981. To date, it serves some of our favorite bagels across the five boroughs. “It’s what you do with the water. It’s how much water you put in, it’s how much, when you proof, [when] you let in the air,” co-owner Scott Spellman told Eater. “Those are the things that are not talked enough about... It’s those techniques that make our bagels what they are.” A branch of the store has opened in Murray Hill, Manhattan, with another to come to Long Island City." - Robert Sietsema, Nadia Chaudhury
