NYC's BEST BAGEL & Coffee! Better Than Ess-A-Bagel

When it comes to the best bagel in NYC, everyone knows all about Ess-A-Bagel. Others will say Absolute Bagel, Russ & Daughters, or even Forest Hills Bagels. But what if I told you that New York's best bagel was Best Bagel? No you didn't read that incorrectly, the best bagel in New York City in my mind is Best Bagel & Coffee, located at 35th street and 7th ave. This isn't another restaurant in the vein of the movie Elf, where it's a generic bagel with an equally generic name. What's even more suspicious is this place is also in a very touristy location, being just a block away from the Empire State Building and Herald Square Macy's. Despite all this, Best Bagel and Coffee backs up its name and is, in my mind, the best bagel in Manhattan and the best bagel in New York! While many people will go for a bagel and lox sandwich, or a bagel egg sandwich, the star at Best Bagel & Coffee (or any NYC bagel shop in my mind) is to just get a flavored bagel with cream cheese. My favorites here are blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese, garlic bagel with garlic cream cheese, and toasted onion bagel with scallion cream cheese. Of all NYC deli foods, especially NYC cheap eats and NYC cheap foods, the bagel is one of my favorites. It is the ultimate New York breakfast and the bagel is the most portable of all of them. If you're a tourist you can't leave NYC until you have a NYC bagel, and if you're a local you have to head to Midtown Manhattan and check out Best Bagel and Coffee, one of the best restaurants in New York for breakfast and one of the best cheap eats in New York City!
