This place would probably be included in my Top 5 NYC bagels...

Mind you, I'm a mini-bagel person - I want my bagel to be around 75 grams, not 150 like the monster, sandwich-sized bagels.  In other words, as bagels once were.

The reason that they have to scoop bagels is that a bagel is not designed to be a sandwich.

 

Some chain, Pop-up Bagels, just arrived here.  They refuse to slice a bagel...want you to tear it and dip in the schmear (which is no longer schmeared)...and won't sell  fewer than three.  Apparently the texture is bread-like.

 

Apparently there are lines for this abuse.

Not here - that scooping of the bagel was only to reduce its carb content; it only got cream cheese...lite cream cheese, applied lightly.
