Expert notes
- This place is famously a cash-only joint. Fast-moving long lines are a common scene. A lot of people prefer untoasted bagels, few go with a toasted and untoasted bagel. Sesame and everything bagel, scallion cream cheese, and Tofutti spread (made from tofu, vegan) are very popular items.
