We're travelling in November to NYC for the first time and these videos feel like the Bible to us, we're studying so much! Thank you for your content!!!!

That crunch when you bit into the Utopia bagel sold it for me.

A family member ordered Utopia for me and they arrived in Texas in excellent shape…..and 3 days later had Mysteriously 😎 disappeared!

A bagel isn’t just for breakfast, but lunch dinner and snacks as well! 👍🏻

I love the arguments among New Yorkers about who has the best bagel and who has the best pizza. Somehow it’s like they are all right if you know what I mean. So many amazing options to fit all tastes. And most of them, even at their most average, are better than what we poor non-New Yorkers have to eat…gotta get back again to get my fix…

Being a celiac, I can only enjoy bagels vicariously through your video! But, your enjoyment makes it a fun experience!

Big point about Ess-a-Bagel. First, they originally were across the street, but lost their lease. After that, they moved and the partners split. One owns only the 1st avenue location and the other owns the 3rd Avenue and all the other locations around the city. For my money, the 1st Avenue location, which I started eating at during lunch breaks from Stuyvesant High School, is by far the best.
One place you don't have on here is Russ and Daughters which makes a heavenly cream cheese, lox and bagel.

Went in june to Absolute because of your previous video... What a fantastic place! The nova is

Always nice seeing a video with Greg!

My first trip to NY is week ahead and since my hotel is half block away I'll probably end up in Ess-a-Bagel

[noahwalker]

Utopia Bagels still is the one bagel place I will try to go first the next time I'm in NYC. The bagels there literally look like heaven and the other bagel place that I also go to in New Jersey is Teaneck Road Hot Bagels.

this is Food Network/Travel Chanel level content. Great video man!

[TheAliKoca]

I'll hit up some of these restaurants when I'm in the city

[FoodandFootprints]

Such a fun day and great video! Glad you got to finally try the legendary Utopia Bagels!

[Wheels_NYC]

Nice!! Utopia was actually on my original itinerary. Bagels are a Tri-State classic, but NYC nails it!

[bobgenghiskhan]

You had me at Everything Bagel. Miss those.

[prestonradtke]

I’ve been to all those places, and they are all excellent. However, I was so flabbergasted and how great the bagels were at H&H on the upper east. I thought it was just a tourist rip off, but they were excellent.

[DJ-wmew]
