Bagels need to be boiled before they are baked. The best bagels in my neighborhood are made by a nice Japanese couple right up the street on Broadway around 108th. Absolute Bagels I get the PUMPERNICKEL or the EVERYTHING. Generally I think...why not get EVERYTHING? And why didn't they think of that SOONER? Tourists come for the H&H Bagels but I hear they are not true, dipped in the water, water bagels. And have been excommunicated accordingly. I do ok at Nusbaum & Wu Bakery @ Bway/113 And I think Tal Bagels are held in highest regard by the ruling Bagel Intelligentsia. But I'm still new in town so I don't know. In Chicago in the 60's I had to drive 35 minutes to get to Skokie for bagels and lox and Kippers. But then bagels caught on with everybody. I'm sure the Neo Skin heads in survivalist compounds around Coeur D'Alene, Idaho wearing Levi's jeans have then for breakfast and don't think twice. No Lox. Mark William Rabiner markrabiner.com
