Tal Bagels
3.8 (976)bakery
3.8 (976)This Upper East Side staple serves traditional NY-style bagels fresh from the oven every 10 minutes, plus local-favorite bialys.
Description
Since 1988, the kitchen here has stuck to the traditional method: bagels are boiled and baked in-store daily with no preservatives, using small-batch recipes. Beyond the hot racks, the counter serves up a classic selection of fish, salads, and homemade soups. While the bagels are the foundation, regulars frequently highlight the veggie cream cheese as the essential accompaniment.
