#3 in Manhattan #7 in NYC Bagel of Note Spread of Note

Store: Small store in a block of similiar storefronts, slightly recessed from the street. In general a compact offering of goods but hits all the basic requirements. Efficient, friendly staff. Good bagel turnover. 4

Bagel: Served warm. Good topping density with standard Garlic/Sesame/Poppy and nice salt ratio. A full crunch bagel with little filler. If there is a Manhattan-style bagel, this sets the example. 4.75

Cream Cheese: Warm and fluid from the fresh bagel heat. Even application and good amount. Very fresh and tangy with no sense of overcheese. Scallion plays a strong support role without being overbearing. 4.5
