Shelsky's Brooklyn Bagels

"Modernist bagel shop Shelsky’s has all the plainish classics in small dense form, but it sports a few spicy outliers, like its numbing Sichuan peppercorn bagel and chili crisp cream cheese. Indicative of the appetizing shop’s contemporaneity, the preparation of the bagels here shows extra care: A sourdough starter is employed in the kitchen, actual egg goes into the the egg bagels, and chopped cheese and Taylor ham sandwiches come served on a bagel or a bialy." - Robert Sietsema, Eater Staff

"At both locations of Shelsky’s, customers can find traditional potato latkes sold alongside gluten-free, sweet potato and celery root versions of the dish. A dozen latkes will run you $45.99, but you can also place smaller individual orders online." - Eater Staff

"Smoked fish, deli meat, and sandwich delivery and takeout available - call to order." - hannah albertine, nikko duren, bryan kim, arden shore, matt tervooren

"Shelsky’s is where you should be ordering bagels or rye sandwiches in the Park Slope area. Get your sandwich with gravlax, pastrami-smoked salmon, tuna salad, or maybe some pork roll (to appease all of your friends from New Jersey). You can see their full menu and place your pick-up or delivery order here." - Team Infatuation

"This deli/appetizing store on Court Street in Cobble Hill is one of our favorite places in Brooklyn to eat chewy bagels, hot or cold smoked fish, and pastrami sandwiches. If you want to keep things simple and fishy, get the classic “Member Of The Tribe,” which comes with nova, plain or scallion cream cheese (you want scallion), on a bagel or bialy. But we also love the pastrami smoked salmon. It’s so peppery and glossy, we often think of making curtains with it. Shelsky’s is open every day from 8am to 4pm, and they also have local delivery and nationwide shipping available. If you’re closer to Park Slope and Gowanus, you can stop by Shelsky’s second location for your bagel fix." - Hannah Albertine
