The cream cheese is not on "either" side, that would infer the cream cheese is on one side or the other. The cream cheese is on BOTH sides.

I love NYC bagels. A warm bagel sandwich and a hot coffee is my favorite way to start the day when I visit.

It really doesn't matter what's the best bagel in NYC. It's all about where you live in the city

[carlossoza]

There is something very special about NYC bagels, pizzas, Kaiser rolls, danishes, pretzels, cheesecakes, and hot dogs. It is magic.

Bagel - egg - smoked salmon - cream cheese

Best Brunch you’ll ever have!

I thought the salmon were tomatoes at first lol

[Hallows]

So glad Absolute was a contender. Been eating there my entire life, and in the last few years it’s popularity has skyrocketed (can easily wait on line for 45 minutes if you time your arrival wrong).

You get less and less smoked salmon at each bagel shop compared to Russ & Daughters

[danober]

Lox lovers are in heaven for this amount of lox on a bagel

[PoserAlert]

This was actually well done- I usually don’t like or agree with these evaluations, but because they broke the “dish” down into its constituent parts is the right way to do it. This is an ages old debate in NYC and these two hit the nail on the head. The reality is that there is not a perfect spot for bagel and lox. I completely agree though, if we have guests in town, we take them to Russ & Daughters. However, my preference is to get the lox there and the bagels and cream cheese at either Thompkins Square or Essa and make it at home.

The women in the back at 1:27 would be me if I walked into this place to get a bagel and saw this like wtf.

[jesusmarin]

I love how they always make the sandwich look phenomenal, I've had it no where as much salmon in mine

[Adrian-kuqy]

This is the first time I am hearing about bagels and lox but it sounds pretty good

[natureboy]

Such good chemistry between the siblings, will definitely check out all these bagel shops when I come to NY again

[aliali-ceyf]

i think Russ and Daughters embellished and gave them extra salmon since they're on camera

[ell]

That fiancés shirt is really working it’s hardest

It's so weird to see a slice of tomato on every single bagel, I had no idea they did that. Since I saw this video I've been putting tomato on my bagels and it's actually a really good combo, just unexpected.
