When I first came to Madison from New York City, where I grew up, I found myself missing many things - but I missed nothing so much as delicious New York bagels. Madison's a great town, I thought, but damn do I miss those bagels...\n\nUntil I found this place.\n\nI never thought I'd say it, but I really can't tell the difference between these bagels and the ones from my favorite spot in NYC. They're just superb.\n\nLox and cream cheese on poppy with a tomato is the best if you want the true New York experience (make sure you ask for that tomato!), but you really can't go wrong whatever you choose. \n\nAlso, they serve the bagels with a really delicious pickle and some bagel chips. Beautiful. Oh, and they have amazing fresh-squeezed orange juice, and their espresso is surprisingly good!
