The Top 100 Bagel Shops Near Eavesdrop

  1. Rank 1. Bagel Joint

    NY-Style Bakery


  2. Rank 2. Bagel Point

    NY-Style Bakery







  3. 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.



  4. Rank 10. Tal Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery







  5. Rank 16. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  6. Rank 17. Baz

    NY-Style Bagel Bakery


  7. Rank 18. 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.


  8. Rank 19. Utopia Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  9. Rank 20. Bagels & Schmear

    NY-Style Bakery




  10. Rank 23. Knickerbocker Bagel

    NY-Style Bakery



  11. Rank 25. Bagel Pub

    NY-Style Bakery






  12. Rank 30. Apollo Bagels

    California-style Bakery


  13. Rank 31. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery






  14. Rank 36. Bergen Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  15. Rank 38. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  16. 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.



  17. Rank 41. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  18. Rank 43. Terrace Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  19. Rank 44. Bagel Pub

    NY-Style Bakery


  20. Rank 45. Mark's Off Madison

    Old-School Bakery


  21. Rank 46. Bagel Hole

    NY-Style Bakery


  22. Rank 47. Bo's Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  23. Rank 49. Bagel Pub

    NY-Style Bakery





  24. Rank 53. Bergen Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  25. Rank 54. Bagel Market

    NY-Style Bakery


  26. Rank 55. Black Seed - Nolita

    Montreal-style Bakery



  27. Rank 57. 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.

  29. Rank 62. Bagel Pub
