Murray's Bagels

The Best Bagels in New York City, According to Professional Chefs

"Opened in 1996 in Greenwich Village, Murray’s built a reputation for old-school bagels that are hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and made with barley malt; longtime fans praise its oversize, fresh-out-of-the-oven bagel topped with smoked salmon, scallion cream cheese, red onion, capers, and tomato as a decades-long favorite." - Amelia Schwartz

"Heralded as one of the best bagels in New York, Murray’s offers an array of spreads and smoked fish, and an all-day deli menu. A traditional NYC Jewish "appetizing" store, they offer 15 varieties of hand-rolled bagels made fresh everyday. Known also for their coffee and the “NO TOAST POLICY”, which they have recently relented." - 345 Design

"Open since 1996, Murray’s was born out of a desire for a superior neighborhood bagel shop in Greenwich Village. The result is a space with large but light bagels with a crackly crust and modest interior chew. Beyond standard cream cheeses, cured fish, and egg fillings, Murray’s specialty is substantial meat and poultry sandwiches, made from salami, hot corned beef, chicken cutlets, and just about any deli meat or fish salad one can think of." - Robert Sietsema

"There are few weekend morning activities quite as essential as picking up coffee and bagels at a local neighborhood shop. In the West Village, the place to go is definitely Murray’s, a long-time neighborhood favorite. While they don’t toast bagels, they do offer every conceivable type of schmear, including a great egg salad. There are tables for eating in, though these travel well, making them pretty perfect picnic fare in warmer weather."
