"House of Bagels remains a San Francisco mainstay since its opening in 1962, serving New York-style bagels for decades. The House earned fervent fans over the years who all swear by the shop’s offerings. The True New Yorker doubles the amount of lox over its other lox sandwich, and it may well be worth trying the shop’s rye bagel option if the mood strikes. For something a bit different, add on an order of bagel chips with hummus. (It is worth noting that the two House of Bagels on this list are related, but run by different owners.)" - Dianne de Guzman
