I'll second the vote for Brooklyn Bagels. They have really good garlic bagels, and their sandwiches are huge. My recommendation:
Toasted garlic bagel with lox and cream cheese, capers (there's an extra charge for capers), and raw onion. Buy a second bagel, ask for a knife.
Scrape off half the cream cheese onto the other bagel, take half the lox off the first and add it to the second, do the same with the onions and if they're generous with the capers, do it with those too.
Now you have 2 very filling lox and cream cheese sandwiches for the price of one that's way too much "stuff" on it for one person to eat by themselves anyway.
I believe this sandwich is called the Williamsburg, you just have to ask for and pay extra for the capers.
