The Top 100 Bagel Shops in New York

The best bagel shops in New York, by the professional record: Michelin Guide, Eater, and BagelUp have all weighed in, and their honors are what rank this list. Russ & Daughters Cafe comes out on top, and the record runs deepest in Manhattan and Brooklyn.

Russ & Daughters and Utopia Bagels hold the next two places. BagelUp shows up on more of this list than any other guide, with The New York Times next.

  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.
