I used to go to Murray's Bagels Murray's Bagels pretty often when I was in the area more. They did always have good bagels and they make several batches a day so sometimes you can catch some warm bagels fresh out of the oven. Nothing beats fresh, warm breads! Today, I tried one of their health grain bagels. I was a bit shocked that the bagel was $1.15 with nothing on it but it was a very good bagel. It had the right chewiness and a wonderful nuttiness, without the dryness that many whole wheat or grain bagels have. Despite the price (Do you remember when bagels were 25 cents?), I'd by it again.

I may have to adjust my list of favorite amusement parks in NY from Chinatown to B & H Photography. There are really no words to describe it. You have to see it to belive it. The store is jam packed with STUUUUUUFF.

As I approach my last week of classes, I am seriously considering another trip down to the city, mainly to quell my desire for scones and muffins. The only thing holding me back is 3 finals, a project, and two papers. But I don't think I can concentrate if I didn't have my muffins. I wish someone could just cryovac them and send me some already!

Cafe au lait with Strawberry cream cheese and a seaseme bagel. Period. Not period in the way that ends a sentence...but period in the sense that this is all there is to breakfast. I have conducted a set of experiments and in the vicinity of the village and I have reevaluated the bagel situation. After making charts, running a few gels, and doing some extensive statisical analysis I have decided to retract my previous statement which claimed that any other bagel was better than Murray's. I was 156.43% wrong.

Bagels are synonymous with NYC. I didn't really know that until I read an essay about...bagels. Well, it was more about ethnic foodways in America, or something like that (I think the essay started talking about immigrants from the Middle East opening NY-style delis in the mid-west that sold bagels, or something along those lines, which I actually read again for a different class this semester yet have already forgotten because I HAD THAT LOBOTOMY), but it talked about the history of bagels and their connotations. Bagels in NYC (and at least the Tri-State/Mid Atlantic/New England area?) are just bagels, while further out they NY or Jewish bagels, fuuurther out maybe American bagels, even fuuurther out maybe Earthling food...eh, I forgot.

There is a great debate going on in our household at the moment over our Saturday morning bagel routine. At our place, Nosher is a committed H&H fan, and it helps his case that we live a very brief walk from their main Manhattan factory. To me though, there is nothing better than a hot onion bagel fresh from the wire rack bins at Murray’s Bagels in Chelsea. I’m not expecting a resolution any time soon, though, because this is New York, and after all, nothing says Gotham more than the perennial question of who makes the best bagel. In Manhattan at least (leaving the several artisanal-quality bagelries in Brooklyn for another post), there are those who swear by H&H Bagels, others who will walk far out of their way for an Ess-a-Bagel, and those who are ready to change subway lines three times just to visit to Tal Bagels on the East or West Side. Therefore I consider myself fortunate that my own personal pick is a comparatively short 30-block walk away.

At Last, My Bagel's Come Home: Murray's Bagels (242 8th Ave.)
In the game of "my city's better than your city," there's one area where Atlanta will always, unquestionably, indubitably lose and that area is bagels. Atlanta has the worst bagels in the world and yes, I ate in Bagel Palace. Bagel Palace is to bagels what Cindarella's castle in Disney is to Buckingham Palace in England. That is to say, a fascimile, a carbon copy, a wisp of a ghost of a shadow of a bagel. New York, my friends, is the real deal. You haven't bageled if you haven't New Yorked.
