"A spacious neighborhood staple near Maria Hernandez Park, Knickerbocker’s bulkier bagels have a nice chew and crisp exterior, and you can even grab freshly squeezed juice from a Zumex behind the counter to go with your bagel." - Devra Ferst
"You can tell you’ve got a great Knickerbocker bagel as soon as you give it a nice squish. The crust crackles just a little as you push down, before it dutifully springs back into form like a stress ball. That’s how you know that it’s big and fluffy, but still dense enough to support the chunky home fries in their breakfast sandwich. Knickerbocker is the only shop in Bushwick that makes their own bagels–hand-rolled and boiled—so there’s always a line. But they move quickly, and you can keep tabs on the M train from a table by the window." - bryan kim, will hartman, willa moore, neha talreja, molly fitzpatrick, sonal shah
"Knickerbocker is the only bagel shop in Bushwick that makes their own hand-rolled and boiled bagels. Lucky for Bushwick—and anyone willing to visit—they make really good ones. Give each bagel a good squish, and you’ll feel the crust crackle just a little as you push down, before the bagel dutifully springs back into form like a stress ball. That’s how you know that it’s big and fluffy, but still dense enough to support the chunky home fries in their breakfast sandwich—or an extra layer of jalapeño cream cheese. There’s always a line, but it moves quickly, and they have a lot of big tables if you want to stay. Including one made out of bagels and epoxy resin." - Neha Talreja

"Everything bagel with jalapeño cream cheese from Knickerbocker Bagel. Also a coffee. I threw a bagel in the mix here so people know I’m a New Yorker."
"A popular Bushwick bagel shop with an outpost in Seoul, run by partners including Jay Jeung, Wee Kwan Oh and Jeong Sook Lee; the business says it did not file or authorize the Manhattan paperwork despite its Knickerbocker Avenue address appearing on the documents, and internal disputes among partners (including litigation over a disputed sale attempt) have complicated the situation." - Chris Crowley
