"Kupels in Brookline is our pick for the best, no-fuss classic bagels around town. The small shop excels at a wide variety of thick, dense-yet-chewy bagels, and you can sleep in a little longer on the weekends knowing that they won’t sell out as quickly as other spots in town. Stick with any combo that involves their nova lox and plan to take your order to one of the many neighboring parks." - Lala Thaddeus
