I never tire of reading how you cut through the BS of "best bagels" both here in Seattle and NYC. SO many people have no idea what they're talking about. I'm equally flummoxed how so many people reach these 'OMG!' conclusions to amazingly bland bagels. Esp in NYC, it's (or should be) the bastion of bagel royalty. How do they get away with it there? Just clueless tourists perpetuating the hype??

Sean...what's your thinking about mentioning the cost of the bagels: plain, w/schmere, dozen? Thanks.

Good call. I used to do it more in my Seattle reviews but I'll try to remember to take note!
