After moving to Westchester 2 years ago, I finally found a real bagel. Westchester is super weak at the bagel game, embarrassingly so, considering this is supposed to be NY. Then I found Brook St. They're about as good as anything you'll find in Brooklyn. Big bagels with a good skin and a chewy center. The rest of the area's bagels are far too dense and too small, mostly overcooked with toppings that remain in the bin, notnon the bagel.

Read moreThis neighborhood deli is packed with character and options. I ordered a classic lox and scallion cream cheese—fresh, briny, and generously portioned. The scallion cream cheese had the perfect tang and herbal kick, complementing the lox beautifully. I also grabbed a cup of their Oreo pudding—rich, sweet, and creamy without being overly heavy. A nostalgic treat done right.
