Bagel Bob’s.

Worth it, says Antonina. Since these are some of the best bagels in the Upper East Side, it’s not uncommon for there to be a line.

    Bagel Bob’s is a New York City staple for Upper East Siders (and pretty much everyone else too).

    What I wrote thereFold it away

    Bagel Bob’s is a New York City staple for Upper East Siders (and pretty much everyone else too). This no-frills bagel shop offers traditional NYC bagels in an unpretentious environment that makes it clear the focus is on taste. 

    My mouth is watering just thinking about them. These Upper East Side bagels are hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and baked fresh daily. This means the odds of you getting a fresh, warm bagel are very high.

    If you’re looking to mix things up, try the flat bagel (also called a flagel). Since these are some of the best bagels in the Upper East Side, it’s not uncommon for there to be a line. Make sure to come early and be prepared to wait, but trust me these UES bagels are worth it!
