Bagels
The bagel was brought to the United States by immigrant Polish-Jews at the turn of the 20th century. The New York bagel contains salt and malt and is boiled in water prior to baking in a standard oven. The resulting New York bagel is puffy with a moist crust. Our favorite place to get bagels in NYC is in our old neighborhood of Windsor Terrace in Brooklyn.
Terrace Bagels has amazing bagels and housemade cream cheeses. The secret is in the water- don't take my word, listen to Louis. If you are in Brooklyn in the fall, you have to try their pumpkin cream cheese and apple spice cream cheese. Yummy! If you are celebrating St. Patrick's Day in NYC, you have to go to Terrace Bagels for their famous green bagels. Be ready to order when you step up to the counter, have your cash out, and step to the right while wait for your food. The men running the store are very efficient. Some people may think they are being rude, but I like to say, it's efficiency at its finest. You should know the first few times I went there, still new to the neighborhood, I was a little scared. If you are in the neighborhood the hour before they close, you can get the bagels made that morning for 50% off and have breakfast ready for the next morning.
