"If we were mayor, we would require every neighborhood to have a good bagel shop. Thankfully, Cobble Hill already adheres to the rule. Shelsky’s is an appetizing store and deli on Court Street, and it’s where you should go for a chewy bagel with smoked fish or a pastrami and egg sandwich on rye. We like to keep it classic with the “Member of the Tribe”—a bagel with your choice of plain or scallion cream cheese, plus a thick layer of buttery nova. Perfect for a Saturday morning stroll, or a Sunday brunch, after a particularly harrowing experience at the Trader Joe’s across the street.
