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.

    Montreal-style Bakery







  10. Rank 30. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  11. 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.






  12. Rank 36. Bagel Joint

    NY-Style Bakery




  13. Rank 39. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery




  14. Rank 42. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  15. Rank 44. Bagel Pub

    NY-Style Bakery




  16. Rank 47. Bergen Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  17. 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.



  18. Rank 51. Bagel Pub

    NY-Style Bakery




  19. Rank 54. Knickerbocker Bagel

  35. Rank 88. Tal Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  36. Rank 90. 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.


  37. Rank 91. Tal Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  38. Rank 93. Tal Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery




  39. Rank 96. Bagel Talk

    NY-Style Bakery
