The Top 100 Bagel Shops Near Apollo Bagels




  1. The smoked fish counter on Orchard Street has been an institution since forever, and Russ & Daughters is the appetizing shop New York trots out whenever it needs to prove a point. White-jacketed servers, a pristine deli case, egg creams, bagels, and Scottish salmon done multiple ways. The Michelin Bib Gourmand nod keeps it honest: the food is the whole point, and the regulars at the counter have known that for years.



  2. Rank 6. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  3. Rank 7. Baz

    NY-Style Bagel Bakery




  4. Rank 10. Bagel Market

    NY-style Bakery



  5. Rank 12. Black Seed - Nolita

    Montreal-style Bakery




  6. Rank 15. Apollo Bagels

    California-style Bakery














  7. Rank 28. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  8. Rank 29. Tal Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  9. Rank 31. Best Bagel & Coffee

    NY-Style Bakery

    Some of the bagels here are so large they've lost their holes entirely, which feels like a metaphor for Midtown but is actually just breakfast. This no-frills bagel shop near Penn Station runs like a commuter train that actually shows up: the line moves, the bagels come out hot, and the chewy, twisty exterior is what you came for. The New York Times named it among the city's best, and the 8 a.m. crowd would agree without looking up.





  10. The mission here is explicit: no rainbow bagels, no blueberry bagels, no what Peter Shelsky calls the "shiksa bagel." This Park Slope bagel shop makes small, crust-forward rounds in the New York tradition, though the Sichuan peppercorn bagel, a nod to the long Jewish-Chinese-food alliance, bends the rules just enough. The New York Times named it among the city's best, which is the only endorsement that really matters in this particular argument.

    NY-Style Bakery



  12. Rank 38. Bagels & Schmear

  13. Rank 39. Bergen Bagels

    Old-School Bakery



  22. Rank 54. Knickerbocker Bagel

    NY-Style Bakery





  23. Rank 58. Wheated

    New Haven-Style Pizza

    The New Haven-style pies here are cooked to a serious crunch, with dough pressed thinner than the Connecticut purists would sanction and a tangy, oregano-heavy tomato sauce that makes a decent argument for staying in Brooklyn. Wheated is a Ditmas Park pizzeria with a full bar that also does bagels, so the menu has range. The New York Times put it on their best pizza in New York list, which is the kind of thing that fills a neighborhood spot fast.
