First, no whipped cream cheese or cream cheese with stuff in it. That’s what makes Philly Cream Cheese great. And give up on the everything bagel — that’s what tourists think they’re supposed to eat.

Even my Dutch Long Island wife, who knows her stroopwafels and bagels, thinks so. But avoids the carbs.
