"We may argue over how to correctly stack a lox bagel sandwich, or how much schmear to use. What we won’t argue about is how much this city loves them. At Queen Village’s Famous 4th Street Delicatessen, the Nova platter comes with velvety, mildly salty salmon, tomato, onion slices, iceberg lettuce, a mound of cream cheese, and beads of capers. You choose the bagel (we go with a chewy everything) and create your own masterpiece. They provide all the supplies to execute it. " - candis mclean, alison kessler
