Manhattan Food Route: Morning Bagels, Pizza After Dark
Use H&H Bagels to start a three-stop sequence, followed by two pizza places with progressively later closing hours.
Bagels Then Two Pizza Stops
Opening Bite at H&H Bagels
At 526 Columbus Avenue, this bakery serves New York style bagels made with unbromated flour, alongside breakfast sandwiches that can include fresh cracked eggs, nitrate free bacon, nova, and avocado. Coffee adds another option for a morning order at the same location. Daily hours run from six to three. The dollar price level identifies an inexpensive daytime stop, with bagels, sandwiches, coffee, and savory fillings available before the Columbus Avenue bakery closes each afternoon.
Pizza Pete's in the Middle
At 528 Columbus Avenue, the pizzeria has been part of the neighborhood since the 1980s. Its menu includes New York slices and Sicilian pies, along with Chicago style pies, rolls, and heros. Its address is adjacent to the opening bagel stop on Columbus Avenue. The listed price range runs from 3.50 to 21.50 dollars per person, and daily hours extend from ten in the morning until ten at night. Reviews average 4.3 across 543 ratings, while reports on consistency, speed, and maintenance remain mixed.
Final Slice Beyond Midnight
Moving east from Columbus Avenue, Bardolino Pizza occupies 1505 Lexington Avenue with a menu that extends beyond pizza. Heroes, wraps, pasta, grills, seafood, chicken slices, and lunch specials are listed alongside delivery and a small dining space. Monday and Tuesday close at midnight. Wednesday and Thursday close at one in the morning. Friday and Saturday close at three in the morning. Sunday closes at midnight. These day specific hours give the final location a later closing window without treating the entire week as one schedule.
