Editorial Review for Once Upon a Bagel – by Elisa Kronish

In Short
This deli churns out homemade bagels by the rack-full. Order to go, or take a number and snag a seat in the boisterous cafeteria-style room, where displays showcase tempting eats: from eight flavors of cream cheese and rolls of salami to rugalach and dill pickles in jars. Sandwiches include the signature hollowed-out bialy loaf, grilled and stuffed with fixings. Potato pancakes are a worthy side, thick rectangles of potato with a crunchy fried outside.
