Kettle Boiled Gluten Free Bagels on the Upper East Side

Modern Bread and Bagel sits on Third Avenue in the Upper East Side, and it solves a problem most New Yorkers assume is impossible, a bagel worth eating without gluten. The dough is hand rolled and kettle boiled the traditional way, then baked until the crust turns glossy and the inside stays chewy. The entire kitchen runs celiac safe and kosher, and the loaded lox sandwiches, the all day brunch plates, and the pastry case of chocolate glazed donuts arrive without cross contamination worries. Regulars rate it 4.0 across 265 reviews. Come hungry and build a sandwich stacked with cream cheese, tomato, and smoked fish, or graze the case of fritters and bundt cakes. In the evening the ovens shift toward savory, turning out gluten free pizza and cheese pizza sticks for the after work crowd.
