H&H Bagels...and GIVEAWAY WINNER

 

To have a true New York experience, one must enjoy a freshly-made, hot-out-of-the-oven NY bagel.  So when food writer Hagan suggested we meet at H & H Bagels this morning as part of his 93 Plates project, I happily obliged.  H & H Bagels has been a part of NYC culture since 1973 and has been referenced on television shows like Seinfeld and The Office.

 

Fans love these bagels because they are crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.  The dough also has a touch of sweetness to them.  With so many choices, which one should we choose?

We opted for the bagels that were the hottest - ie. the ones fresh from the oven.  Pumpernickel was the winner.

How were they?  Piping hot and pretty good.  They were mild on the pumpernickel flavor and with a bit of lox and cream cheese, made for satisfying breakfast. 

Whenever you're in town, be sure to stop by H & H Bagels (and hop over to Zabar's across the street for a larger selection of spreads and another quintessential New York experience).

 

H & H Bagels is located at 2239 Broadway Ave (at W 80th St) in NYC.  Thanks to Hagan and H & H Bagels for the nice start to the day!
