The Top 100 Bagel Shops Near Hellbender



  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 4. Bagel Pub

    NY-Style Bakery



  3. Rank 6. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery




  4. Rank 9. Bagel Joint

    NY-Style Bakery





  5. Rank 13. Bergen Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery






  6. Rank 18. Tal Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery




  7. Rank 21. Terrace Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery




  8. 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.




  9. Rank 27. Utopia Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery



  10. Rank 29. Bagel Pub

    NY-Style Bakery


  11. Rank 30. Bagel Hole

    NY-Style Bakery


  12. Rank 31. Bagels & Schmear

    NY-Style Bakery





  13. Rank 35. Baz

    NY-Style Bagel Bakery


  14. Rank 36. Wheated

    Italian, 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.


  15. Rank 37. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery


  16. Rank 38. 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.


  17. Rank 39. Liberty Bagels

    NY-Style Bakery






  18. Rank 44. Bergen Bagels

          Best Place Score

          The Best Place Score rates the area around a point, not any one place. Most of it is the record: the scored places within reach, weighed by distance, so more good stuff nearby means a higher score. The rest is how life is in that country and what it's like right there: how people rate their own lives, how long and how well they live, how safe they are, the air, and the weather. If it looks low, we probably haven't found enough critics out here yet.
