Disagree. I live in Maryland and Ive gone all the way up to Manhattan just for a great bagel. Ive even gone to Chicago for an amazing sausage. Some of us are food fanatics...
Russ and Daughters is way overrated and overpriced. In NYC, find a good bagel shop in your neighbor. There was one on 1st Ave and about 16th that when to early in the morning. Get some good lox which is not hard to find in the City and some cream cheese. Add tomatoes and red onions. It is not that hard.
Well it is served in a rustic looking restaurant wrapped in paper and it’s in New York... so at best it’s probably a little over $15 Edit: it’s salmon, so maybe it’s over $22-$25.
@@sarahceekay33 This is why I assemble my own Nova Scotia bagels at home. A warm, toasted sesame bagel, a shmear of cream cheese on both sides, capers, tomato, thinly sliced onion rings, and a side of half-sour pickles - a couple of black olives too! You can't go wrong if you wash this down with a cool beer.
Negative Ghostrider... a freshly made bagel does not need to be toasted. If I baked you an apple pie, and pull it out of the oven, why would you put it back into the oven? If it's a day old, then fine, spritz it with water and toast it.
John Caputo the middle layer of a McDonald’s Big Mac is also fully cooked, it’s toasted because it’s the correct way to do it. If you wish to eat your bagels wrong then that’s completely your decision and I don’t respect that.
It's so weird to see a slice of tomato on every single bagel, I had no idea they did that. Since I saw this video I've been putting tomato on my bagels and it's actually a really good combo, just unexpected.
Lucas Yee people who don’t like lox don’t order a lox bagel so I get that. But to order a lox bagel and complain about having too much? I don’t think so.
There nothing like a good sandwich, some people like this some people like Italian delicacies, there’s nothing like a nice Italian hero filled with all the imported goodies!
Because people who live in the city know that everything is expensive. It's just standard there. What you're really saying is you don't understand why people would choose to live in New York City.
OK - my take-home message from these two is they want a big fluffy bagel, with whipped cream cheese, and not too much lox. In fact one of the sandwiches they liked had more tomato than salmon. Hey you two: Move To Los Angeles!!
I love how when they went to absolute bagels so many random people just buts is and says “these are the best bagels” that’s when you know it’s really the best😂
I was fortunate enough to find an amazing bagel place far from the hustle and bustle of NYC and that includes the rest of the 5 boroughs and even Long Island. It is called Bagel Emporium in Yorktown Heights in North Westchester they are amazing and they also have incredible pastries. Their chocolate cheesecake muffin is heaven!
Agree about Russ & Daughters. Second best bagel, nova & cream cheese is Tal Bagel. Its such a perfect melding of quality ingredients on a terrific bagel. Also Barney Greengrass!
@@tywilliams224 Actually Ty, after careful and scientific consideration, the Tal Bagel Nova, Cream Cheese, Onion, Tomato, Capers bagel is the best in Manhattan...meaning it's the best ever on the planet. The preparation and melding of perfect ingredients is unparalleled.
When she mentions that her brother proposed to his fiance in that one bagel shop you can stop the video right there. We all know that is gonna be the winner. No need to watch any further.
I think ess-a bagels are way overrated. I went there and the bagels were above average but not crazy. They are really expensive tho and its always crowded.
This was actually well done- I usually don’t like or agree with these evaluations, but because they broke the “dish” down into its constituent parts is the right way to do it. This is an ages old debate in NYC and these two hit the nail on the head. The reality is that there is not a perfect spot for bagel and lox. I completely agree though, if we have guests in town, we take them to Russ & Daughters. However, my preference is to get the lox there and the bagels and cream cheese at either Thompkins Square or Essa and make it at home.
My family, relatives, friends and Scandinavian community all make open-faced sandwiches with gravlox. It's similar to sushi in that the sandwiches are made in so many ways and are arranged as "art". Adding a second think layer of bread (bagel) dilutes the taste of the lox and other ingredients.
Russ and Daughters is by far the best. Been gong there since 1989. Tompkins Square can’t even cut the lox correctly. Essa Bagel has always made great bagels the lox are OK. Don’t know the other place. You should have went to Barney Greengrass for great smoked fish.
Yo, Piasanos Brooklyn NY on 83rd St. In BayRidge. Best bagel I had in NY. Little Italian family owned shop. Lavazza coffee and bagel with cream cheese and lox. Unreal.
So many good bagel places in NYC especially in Brooklyn. That Ess A Bagel place looked amazing. I used to go to Absolute during almost every day in college. It’s amazing.
So glad Absolute was a contender. Been eating there my entire life, and in the last few years it’s popularity has skyrocketed (can easily wait on line for 45 minutes if you time your arrival wrong).
I went to NY for the first time and I tried a bagel right away. The girl spoke poor English that I can barely understand. She got annoyed and impatient every time I say pardon. So I just say yes to every question and end up with a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese. And it’s so hard and I can’t chew. My mouth hurt at the last bit. I was so disappointed that I didn’t try another bagel. But now I finally know where to get good bagel. Next time I go to NY, I’ll definitely try again :)
My first time trying bagels and lox was a couple years ago at Barney Greengrass. It changed my life. I liked it so much I had to visit Russ and Daughters and that was incredible as well
So take away. Get the lox from russ n daughters. Bagel from essa Cream cheese from Tompkins Take home, combine for the super lox sandwich and pair with several martinis.
As someone from NYC who has eaten hundreds of bagels & lox in his life, I can say that the first bagel had way too much lox on it. That is like 3 bagel's worth of lox. I know opinions differ but I am very simplistic when it comes to my lox. Good quality bagel, lightly toasted, good schmeer of cream cheese and 1 layer of lox. Eat that shit open faced...not like a sandwich. Put a little salt and pepper on top as well and you will not be disappointed.
When you go to Russ and daughters they give you like less than half of the salmon that’s in their bagel. They see they’re critics so they gave them a lot more lol
Ok I have 3 things to say: 1. The best "Bagel" place is definitely Best Bagel & Coffee on W 35th. 2. My favorite is the Nova sandwich from Lenwhich. Nova is salmon that is cold smoked meaning it's not cooked but smoked at a lower temperature in a smoke house. 3. I use to live in a homeless shelter right around the corner from Absolute Bagel. Ok that's it lol 😉😁😏

That's just something siblings say. I assume you don't have any sibling?
Thanks for pointing it out. I’m downvoting for this.
The cream cheese is not on "either" side, that would infer the cream cheese is on one side or the other. The cream cheese is on BOTH sides.

You get less and less smoked salmon at each bagel shop compared to Russ & Daughters

russ and daughters costs 5x as much as any of the other places

Bagel - egg - smoked salmon - cream cheese
Best Brunch you’ll ever have!
Do you toast the bagel?
Poached egg
I love NYC bagels. A warm bagel sandwich and a hot coffee is my favorite way to start the day when I visit.
ACE7O2 Same, except so live in CT so they're probably not as good
I heard the underground bagel gangs are a real problem in NY
@@Mr.Helper.I think we should start a petition about these bagel gangs, very concerning
i think Russ and Daughters embellished and gave them extra salmon since they're on camera
for sure they did, the best place for lox in NY is Utopia Bagels in whitestone.
Tell us prices please, would be nice know how much cost this amazing food
🤔$8
Well it is served in a rustic looking restaurant wrapped in paper and it’s in New York... so at best it’s probably a little over $15
Edit: it’s salmon, so maybe it’s over $22-$25.
Overprice snack, Cost too much for something you can buy in supermarket and make it yourself at home.

Lox
Tomato
Red onion
Capers
@Your Wrong chill out
It's a very thin slice of tomato, but I think it's there to offset the saltiness of the lox. Beautiful combination
Why would you complain about too much lox?? “It might be over powering”. I stopped listening after that.
Nate C some ppl don’t like lox it’s their opinion
Lucas Yee people who don’t like lox don’t order a lox bagel so I get that. But to order a lox bagel and complain about having too much? I don’t think so.
u dont get the point, because the main thing here is the bagel! not lox. its all relative
@@akayrk read the title of the video. "The best Bagel and LOX".
@@akayrk also they made it a point to say how the restaurant focuses a lot on lox
As much as I enjoy these, it still boggles the mind how NYers can pay in excess of $20 for a sandwich
Nobody cares that you like Miracle Whip on Wonder bread.
There nothing like a good sandwich, some people like this some people like Italian delicacies, there’s nothing like a nice Italian hero filled with all the imported goodies!
That’s New York for u... lol everything is expensive 😖

Looks awesome. Unfortunately it’s probably $19 a sandwich
maybe more

There is something very special about NYC bagels, pizzas, Kaiser rolls, danishes, pretzels, cheesecakes, and hot dogs. It is magic.
It's the water...
Don’t forget pastrami
“They both have holes we’ll figure it out.”

Lox lovers are in heaven for this amount of lox on a bagel
I don’t even like salmon and they look delicious.
Your profile name 😂
Lol ren n stimpy!
This is the first time I am hearing about bagels and lox but it sounds pretty good
Huh? What rock are you living under?
At the last Bagel joint the salmon didn't look that appetizing
The first place looked the best.
Looked like it was cut a bit thick but what do I know, I'm from Tennessee lol.
I agree
Well it looked the best to me, the other ones looked like they were dyed.
1st place hands down if I'm paying for Lox I want a lot of it
Right! Bagels and lox in NYC STARTS at $8! At that price, I want as much fish as possible. She’s CRAZY for complaining about the amount of lox.
Also the freshest by the looks of it.
Yup the bagel to lox ratio needs to be equal or close to it
guy lamson
It had tomato in it tho 🤢
Her voice made me wanna cough my bagel i ate last night
Sounded like Keith Richards
Mmmm!
I like an everything bagel with lox topped with dill cream cheese, tomatoes, and capers.
Damn, now I’m hungry 😩
Such good chemistry between the siblings, will definitely check out all these bagel shops when I come to NY again
Lies again? Serie A Leader Balls Of Steel
I love how they always make the sandwich look phenomenal, I've had it no where as much salmon in mine
“This is like a workout bagel”
That is full of calories

Utopia Bagels in Queens is our favorite in all of NYC
Bagel Oasis on Horace Harding in Fresh Meadows.
It’s probably closed now! Which is sad!
She’s like the second coming of Joan Rivers.

Bagels are just generally amazing in New York period lol
its the tap water
Better in Montreal tho
NYC are the best due to the water!
Best tap water in the country! Makes all the difference
Best Bagel & Coffee in NYC has a pretty mean bagel too 😍

Same
More expensive than Russ and Daughter’s?

I literally work 2 blocks away from Absolute Bagel, and have never tried them. Will make sure to stop by next time!
It’s so good
I’m convinced NYC has the most overhyped food on the planet
Im a simple man. Here's the levels of my bagels
1. Bagel
2. Cream cheese
3. Bagel
Like i said simple
So? Not everyone is a hermit.
Yo, Piasanos Brooklyn NY on 83rd St. In BayRidge. Best bagel I had in NY. Little Italian family owned shop. Lavazza coffee and bagel with cream cheese and lox. Unreal.
So many good bagel places in NYC especially in Brooklyn. That Ess A Bagel place looked amazing. I used to go to Absolute during almost every day in college. It’s amazing.
1...2...3...4...5...6...7 that’s how many times they showed the same pictures
I live in Carnegie Hill.
You want me to go to Tomkins Square??
Are you mad?
Anyway I hear there's a Russ and Daughters on Fifth at the Jewish Museum.
So glad Absolute was a contender. Been eating there my entire life, and in the last few years it’s popularity has skyrocketed (can easily wait on line for 45 minutes if you time your arrival wrong).
I went to NY for the first time and I tried a bagel right away. The girl spoke poor English that I can barely understand. She got annoyed and impatient every time I say pardon.

The best bagel and lox is at home
I agree. These prices are ridiculous.
"He loves bagels so much he even proposed to his fiance"
Lol. Yea.
"...at our first stop Russ & Daughters".
So take away.
Get the lox from russ n daughters.
Bagel from essa
Cream cheese from Tompkins
Take home, combine for the super lox sandwich and pair with several martinis.
That damn dotted sweater is tripping me out.
Capers and olive oil for me. Looks so good!
Love Bagels and Lox with Capers of course.
And it’s gotta be scallion cc for me!!!

Who on earth is running this account lol. Pin your damn comment if you want anybody at all to see it jfc

2:30 i’ll have a poppy with butter and arm hair please. Thank you.
Make your own lox and save a ton of $$$. They rip you off really, really bad. Salmon should never cost that much.
I prefer my bagels lightly toasted thank you...
As a Card-Carrying Jew, no. just noYou NEVER eat a bagel as a sandwich. Period.
Brooklyn bagel in Astoria is awesome. You should try their shrimp salad on a toasted everything bagel.
Her voice is so annoying and scratchy.
6:12 You know he ain't kidding when he said they don't agree on anything when she high fives his fist bump
This is the comment that I was looking for.
Sigh, I really dislike it when people complain about the ratio of the meat being too much. Nah, the more meat, the better.
“we never agree on things”
agrees on literally every category 😭😭
FYI Russ and daughters probably uses like a 1/3 of the salmon you show in this video
My mouth is a saliva waterfall right now
This looks delicious
I love Jews and there bagels much love from Cali🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱✡️
Clearly you have never been in Montreal
Egg Montreal bagels are more on the sweet side and New York bagels are more savory, To be honest it depends on your taste.
Once, thankfully never again.
Many of us NYers have. Montreal is lovely. However, their bagels are meh!
Hmm, OK. "Give us a big, fluffy, airy bagel with as little lox as you can put on it."
My very favorite bagel shop in NY is New York City Bagel & Coffee House. Their bagels are the best.
Same here!
When you go to Russ and daughters they give you like less than half of the salmon that’s in their bagel. They see they’re critics so they gave them a lot more lol
Spent a few days in NYC, eating Tompkins Square Bagels every day in the nearby Tompkins Square Park. It was beautiful😭
They walk like they're special... Taking up the whole sidewalk

it doesnt matter the only went to the ones that paid them for the ad in the city. no brooklyn no queens 👎👎👎👎👎👎
charlie's fiance has HUGE cans! forgot the bagels!
Their Kosher all day and night!
No onion? No chive cheese? I like dense bagels, not bagels cakey with crumb. So, I go for H&H (not reviewed)
Ok I have 3 things to say: 1. The best "Bagel" place is definitely Best Bagel & Coffee on W 35th. 2. My favorite is the Nova sandwich from Lenwhich. Nova is salmon that is cold smoked meaning it's not cooked but smoked at a lower temperature in a smoke house. 3. I use to live in a homeless shelter right around the corner from Absolute Bagel. Ok that's it lol 😉😁😏
Never kididng me salmon like if your Alaskan I guess outra here with that.

hella worth
