Get the , or an with garlic herb cream cheese. That's the order people repeat. The gets knocked as stale with flavorless toppings, so the common advice is to go on a weekend and get one straight out of the oven. It's also one of the few all night shops left.

  • replying to u/why_squ1rtle: bagels r so hit or miss in nyc. its only good if u get it fresh imo. if its been sitting longer than 30 min ill ask for a toast. ideally its fresh made for u. i much prefer the taste of fluffy bagel out the oven instead of one sitting around but sometimes i'll ask n they'll be like ya its kinda fresh but then i bite and its hard as a rock. idk where ur based but u should give baz bagel on grand a try. sometimes they will make it fresh. ive been there like 4 times recently n ive had a freshie like half the time. but the freshie is amazing though. i know i sound like a spoiled piglet but whatevs oink oink

    A lot of people hate on Bagelsmith, but I think one right out of the oven (which is easy to do on weekends) will be a lot better than a bagel 1+ hrs old from a "better" bagel shop.

  • Right now, bagelsmith on Metropolitan in Brooklyn is at the top of my list. On a everything bagel with a smear of garlic herb cream cheese.
