Oh, that's The Blob diner, right? I used to live right near there...never went. Usually went to the Candlewyck or the Meadowlands.

That’s the one! Great breakfast and reasonably priced. I haven’t been to Meadlowlands, but we live closer to Candlewyck, so we’ve been there a bunch of times.

The bagel place on the south side of 17 right across from the Bendix was always a spot I stopped at when passing by as well

Goldbergs. They’re the best in that area IMO.

The problem with this area is that each bagel store has extreme bad components and if I took the good qualities of all them, I’d have a great bagel store.

One has good ‘sandwich’ bagels and tasty eggs, but the service is painfully slow and often gets our order wrong (even if they’re not busy); another the eggs are great, but the sausages are halved links (unacceptable); a different one has crappy hard NYC style bagels, but great juices, shakes, and nice people. 🤷‍♀️

I miss Palisades Park bagels, but it’s out of the way now. I also like Lodi and Bob’s, but haven’t been often enough to really judge.
