"Popup has three locations in NYC, but they started in a backyard in Connecticut, which helps explain why they don’t adhere to any specific regional style. Made fresh throughout the day, the bagels are fluffy on the inside, with a thin, flavorful, blistered crust, designed to be ripped and dipped. Keep in mind Popup only sells their bagels in multiples of three, and every order comes with a container of schmear, which you can get in a few different flavors like scallion and cinnamon sugar." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
