"Born in 2023 from a pop-up at Leo in Williamsburg, Apollo Bagels now has four locations across Brooklyn and Manhattan and makes sourdough bagels with a distinct airy interior and a bubbly, crunchy shell. The shop sells only three types — plain, sesame, and everything — and serves sandwiches open-faced; fans like Eunji Lee praise the cream cheese and tomato sandwich and the smoked salmon with cream cheese, capers, red onion, and dill, though she also loves their plain bagel." - Amelia Schwartz
