    replying to u/Electrical-Sense-156: The best is buying all of your fish at an appetizing store like Russ and Daughters or Sables or a good counter like at Zabars. Then you go to a bagel shop that bakes on premises. Buy fresh bagels. Go home and assemble your open faced bagel sandwiches.

    replying to u/Key_Boysenberry5261: Hell yes, thank you so much! In your opinion how does Chelsea Bagel stand against Bagel Market or NY Jumbo Bagels? Dying for that crunchy outside, steaming soft inside hahaha

    “if you go out of the way to hit up NY Jumbo Bagels, and have to wait in line for it, it's almost guarantied to be a "worse" bagel compared to if you grabbed a bagel from somewhere nearby like Bagel Market or Chelsea Bagel of Tudor City.”

    replying to u/JelloDarkness: You should try NY Jumbo Bagels (2nd Ave betw 56th and 57th) if you haven't already. They are my favorite of all of the great choices in NYC. Their turnover is high enough where if you don't have a strong preference on bagel type you can just ask for whichever ones are warm. They are not the best for sandwiches (putting aside the "cream cheese sandwich") but the strength/quality of their bagel is hard to beat.

    “My favorite, from a recommendation on here, are NY Jumbo Bagels on 2nd Ave between 57th and 56th. They also have great rugelach. Can’t speak for the sandwiches but love the bagels and spreads”
