New York: Bagels, Garden, and Schiacciata
A guide to All American Bagel & Barista II opens with thick bagels, then covers a community garden and Florentine sandwiches.
Three Places Across New York
Coffee Choices on Cross Bay
All American Bagel and Barista II serves fresh, thick bagels alongside at least six hot and iced coffee flavors. For coffee orders, almond milk carries no extra charge. A bike rack is available for visitors. Washrooms are available, and shaded outdoor benches provide a place to sit. Weekday hours run from 5.30 AM to 5 PM. Saturday service runs from 6 AM to 5 PM. Sunday service runs from 6 AM to 4 PM, while every other day closes at 5 PM.
A Garden With Church Ties
At 147 Tompkins Ave in Brooklyn, this is the only verified garden among the three New York places in this sequence. Weekday access follows two separate daily windows. From Monday through Friday, morning hours run from 7 AM to 11 AM. The listed afternoon hours resume at 1 PM and continue until 6 PM. Saturday and Sunday are both listed as closed. These hours establish a weekday schedule with a two hour midday closure, rather than a continuous opening period or weekend availability.
La Paradiso Schiacciata
The Mazzanti family business dates to 1991, and the Manhattan location serves Florentine schiacciata. La Paradiso brings mortadella, pistachio cream, and stracciatella into one sandwich. Inside, the rear seating area offers a place to eat. The shop operates daily from 11 AM to 8 PM, with restrooms reported on site. Together, the family history, Florentine bread, and specific filling combination define the food identity, while the seating and daily schedule provide practical context for lunch or an early evening meal in Manhattan.
