There have been a multitude of places over the years that have claimed to serve “NY Bagels”, and even some places CALLED by the name “NY Bagels”, but… they all LIE.

Liars. Every last one of them.

ALL the experts say that New York bagels are different/better than all others because of the water. Plain old NY city tap water is the key. Without that water, all you have is New York "style" bagels.
