I am just not going to stand in line for 45 minutes or an hour for a bagel. I like bagels and reading about bagels but I just haven't found the magic bagel that would entice me to line up for that long. I've lined up for maybe 30 minutes when traveling somewhere famous for bagels (Beigel Bake in London, for example) and while they were good, I'd only return if the line was short. And maybe I'm a philistine but I think that even the day old versions of the Little Market bagels are better than most of the bagels I've had in Seattle.
I have to say that I still miss the Bagel Deli, partly because they had great bagels and bagel sandwiches AND partly because they were my neighborhood spot. For me, it's also about experiencing something that's of that neighborhood, whether it's my own or one I'm visiting while traveling.

I'm with you on the Little Market bagels! Bummed I missed Bagel Deli, I've heard good things.
