Quick Bit o' Bagel

Ed Levine taste tests the City's bagels... with surprising results.

We sell this book on the history of the bagel at the Museum Shop.

Kossar's on Grand Street is a neighborhood favorite, and when we have a staff breakfast, this is where we get our stash.

For a quick bagel-and-egg sandwich, we hit up Happiness on Delancey, which is run by the nicest guys ever. They have been there forever, and they know everybody - from the high school kids who come in for lunch to all of us at the Tenement Museum. They use bagels from H&H.

If you are ambitious, try making your own at home. They are less trouble than you might think, and everybody will be very impressed.
