"At Bergen Bagels in Prospect Heights, you don't need to toast your bagel unless you really want to. Especially in the morning, you’ll find them warm and chewy, the perfect canvas for lox, cream cheese, and red onion, or whitefish salad and tomato. (Or, eat one plain as you make your way to a brunch with a dozen more in hand.) Open since 1991, this neighborhood spot is frequented by policemen, commuters who come here every morning before hopping on the 2 train, and people who don't even bother to change out of their pajamas.
