NYC's Top 3 Bagels You Gotta Try After Landing! 🥯✈️

Just got off the plane and ready for a real New York bagel? I’ve rounded up three popular spots — ranked based on flavor, texture, and that classic NYC vibe. 🥇 Liberty Bagel The most famous of them all — and for good reason! They’re known for their colorful rainbow bagels 🌈, which are as fun as they are delicious. Huge, chewy, and satisfying. Must-try: Strawberry cream cheese 🍓 + their Steakwich (beef with melty cheese — so filling!) Verdict: A full meal and a mood booster! 🥈 Brooklyn Bagel A strong contender! Their blueberry bagel with blueberry cream cheese is a classic done right — and they’re super generous with the cream cheese spread. Heads-up: The salmon bagel is tasty but can get a bit rich by the end. Still a solid pick, especially for sweet bagel lovers. 🥉 Best Bagel Okay, it’s… fine. The bagels here didn’t wow me — the cream cheese tasted a bit watery and less flavorful. Tried the chicken parmesan bagel, but it gave more “pizza vibes” than bagel energy 🍗🧀. Maybe good in a pinch, but not my top rec. So — who’s got other bagel recommendations in NYC?
