25 Iconic Dishes That Define NYC

"The Dish: Everything Bagel, Scallion Cream Cheese & Sliced Lox We’re ready to admit that there is good pizza outside of New York. Not the best, but good.

It’s not their fault—we have a very high benchmark with bagels like the ones at Whitestone’s Utopia. Since 1981, this shop has been making perfectly puffy, chewy, salty but slightly sweet bagels. Their everything is the perfect vehicle for our go-to combo of scallion cream cheese and lox. " - bryan kim, sonal shah, willa moore, will hartman, molly fitzpatrick, neha talreja
