"This is a bagel shop, not a sit-down brunch spot, but it’s on this guide because this place has gotten us through many Sunday mornings in the East Village. The bagels here are massive and customizable, but we recommend getting the Weezer, which comes with bacon, chorizo, egg, cheddar, and any of the 40 varieties of cream cheese. Take it to-go and enjoy it across the street in Tompkins Square Park." - hannah albertine, matt tervooren
