"Harlem has only one fresh bagel shop, but you’ll always leave it with more bagels than you planned to buy. Behind the giant bagel in the window is a full-fledged baking operation where the chewy-on-the-inside, and subtly crispy-on-the-outside bagels are made from scratch. They’ve got traditional varieties as well as some more adventurous ones, like za’atar, as well as a range of spreads. They also have well-stuffed specialty sandwiches, like the Nacho Camacho with chili, jalapeño cream cheese, lettuce, and tomato on a three-cheese bagel. Morningside Park is a conveniently short walk away." - neha talreja, hannah albertine, bryan kim, willa moore, sonal shah
