  Praised the wide variety of smoked fish and the standout menu, calling the salmon and caper bagel a perfect 10 out of 10.
  Heads up: Known from reviews for having long lines, and the egg sandwich fell short of expectations since the cheese wasn't melted.

• Ess-a-Bagel — Jon Barr
  Nearly 50 years old, known for thick, chewy bagels generously slathered with cream cheese, with three Midtown locations for easy access.
