Manhattan Bagels and Cookie Breaks
A Manhattan morning into afternoon, from oversized bagels on Broadway and small-batch bagels at Hanover Square to Brazilian cheese bread behind the Seaport and warm cookies on Fulton Street.


Hand-rolled bagels large enough to share come with creative cream cheeses, rainbow swirls and options like Maple Bacon and Lox at this counter at 32 Broadway, alongside chicken avocado and Italian cold cut sandwiches. Service moves fast, indoor seating is limited, and it is open daily from 7 AM to 6 PM.
