You heard it hear folks, the newest Yes. It’s seriously hard to beat a Popup bagel. The smell of this place is taking over the UES by storm and the taste is every bit as good.

Bagels don’t get fresher than those at Popup which typically roll right out of the oven shortly after ordering. The deal here is novel and breaks New York tradition. Some love it, some hate it. So goes the world.

At Popup, the minimum order is three bagels, and that comes with a healthy carton of schmear for $12. You choose the schmear and can mix and match the bagels.

As a local, I’ve gotta say the arrival of Popup comes with no small amount of excitement. This place already has lines around the block each morning and deservedly so.
