#48 in Manhattan #181 in NYC

Store: A hybrid of a nice deli and a bagel store. Large, open interior. Bagels in bins (as is proper). Fast staff. Minimal drink selection. 3.5

Bagel: GPS toppings (garlic, poppy, sesame). No loose salt crystals. Toppings on one side only, high density. Large bagel, chewy. Not tough or crispy. Mostly featureless, as though a roll. 2.75

Cream Cheese: Possibly pre-packaged with scallions added, though not certain. A non-entity, but applied at a good ratio. 3
