The 19 Best Bagels In New York City, Ranked - New York - The Infatuation

"These bagels may not taste remarkable at first, but that’s kind of the point. They’re supposed to blend in. Modern Bread and Bagel is entirely gluten free, and their baked goods do a fantastic job of simulating a full-on gluten experience. In order to fully appreciate the dense, chewy bagels with big pockets of air, it helps to understand how truly not-great some gluten-free options can be. But even if you’ve never lived the alt-bagel lifestyle, you can still have a great time eating one of these things. The densely seasoned everything is the correct choice here." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
