New Yorker who has eaten a metric ton of great bagels from Long Island, Brooklyn, Manhattan and NJ. Good bad and in-between. Cupertino’s works for us. Just ate one for breakfast. Would it survive in NY? Sure, would they be highly rated? Not really. Nate’s for a breakfast sandwich bagel I didn’t mind but not my go to. Will try Chewy’s for sure. Value matters to me as I will eat these by the dozen when I buy them so Chewy’s may be out.
