Kossar's Bagels & Bialys
bakery
Watch bagels made by hand at this historic kosher institution, famous for its bialys and grab-and-go sandwiches.
Description
Operating since 1936, the refurbished shop pairs its traditional bakes with all-day breakfast, babka, pastries, and house-made cream cheeses. The space is tailored for quick transitions: there is limited indoor seating and no customer restroom, making it a spot for picking up a hot order rather than settling in.
