All this talk about bagels, bialys, lox, and nova salmon got me thinking about another Jewish delicacy I haven’t had in ages. Real homemade meat knishes.

I, too, think that the Brooklyn Bagel Co., has the best bagels. I've had in years.......sorry Staten Island....

Bring on the Bialy's!!!!!!

OOOOh, do I miss Zabars! As a kid I would spend every summer in the Catskills. My grandfather, who worked in Manhattan, would come up to our lake house every Friday night with bags of bagels, bialys, nova, sturgeon, creamed herring, whitefish, kosher pickles, knishes, rye breads, corned beef, and Cel-Ray soda--we would feast every weekend.

Wow, thanks for bringing back grat memories.

these bagels are just ok...and way over-priced. panera's are a better deal. or, just bring a bushel load back every time you return from up north!

and liver knishes....do they even make them anymore? so good.

Hi Phyllis,

Robb has at least 5 pounds of Kenai River Reds and Silvers(salmon) in the smoker, should be finished by the time we get home from work.

Want me to bring you some? We will be there 5 weeks from today.

Sorry for the hijack, can't wait to try the bagels.

So true Shirleevee....the first time I walked into Brooklyn Water Bagel, that's exactly what I asked..."What! No Bialeys?". Oh well, can't have everything. I do think the bagels are the closest you can get to the bagels I grew up with in Brooklyn. When we moved to Staten Island, I still preferred the Brooklyn Bagels. Now, I'm here in TV since Sep. 2011, and happily I can have my Brooklyn Bagels again. Ciao, Trish

Next thing is the bagels are excellent. Not a donut shaped piece of bread like you get at Dunkin' Donuts for $.99, but a real honest to goodness boiled, then baked little piece of heaven.

You cannot compare these to any other so-called bagel I've had in Florida, but they're definitely on a par with any bagel you might get up north in the NY, NJ area. Some bagel shops up north might make them a bit bigger than these, but not much better.

I usually transport bagels down from NJ when I visit. I won't have to do that anymore if Brooklyn Water Bagels succeed in their business here.

If you haven't tried them yet, please do, you won't be disappointed. It's just too bad they're not golf cart accessible.

all the fixin's for a great egg cream....
