Original Brooklyn Bagel — Restaurant in New York

It is one of the great tragedies of my life that Original Brooklyn Bagel is not easily accessible to me, though I've still managed to go there a couple of times in the last few months. These are bagels that remind you how good a bagel can be. They are smaller, denser, and chewier than most you'll see--soft in all the ways you want a bagel to be soft and firm in all the ways you want it to be firm. The toppings are nicely distributed. The vegetable cream cheese has finally chopped veggies (one of my personal pet peeves is having giant veggies in my cream cheese--I'd like to have multiple kinds of vegetables in each bite!). My husband really loved their whitefish salad. I've also tried some of the pastries and bread--everything was delicious. Now this is a Jewish bagel place; for those of you who are unfamiliar with what that means, it means it's kosher, which means there is no meat (only fish) because it's dairy. This doesn't detracted from their absolutely fabulous food, but does mean you might want to find a different bagel place if you have a craving for a classic breakfast combo of bacon, eggs, and cheese. But frankly, you can get that almost anywhere, where bagels this good are...

This place has the best bagels in NYC I have tried all the “best bagel spots” and they are nothing compared to this place , A bagel should not be the size of half loaf of bread in most cases I find bagels in nyc to be a gimmick. This place uses an old Jewish recipe and the bagels are small but filling and theirs home made cream cheese is insanely good. When you bite into their bagels the outside has this crunch and then softness off the dough, which has amazing flavors you can taste the ingredients of the flower. I begged these guys to open up more locations but they won’t. It’s deep in Brooklyn I live in midtown now, but I think I’ll make a trip out there soon again, I use to eat...

There works a girl in OBB who wears a hat that is way to big for her & her hair hangs down into the food. How anybody doesn't lose their appetite from this disgusting procedure - letting her hair hang down in the food - is beyond comprehension! This girl does not understand laws of kasher/kosher!!! Passing on this one will hopefully change their wilful ignorance of kasher/kosher laws. There's plenty of kosher bakeries & stores that practice good kosher/kasher laws that you don't have to be subject to this abhorrent behavior! Very surprised board of health didn't close them down or at least summons them yet!!! Thank...
