"This relative newcomer to the NYC bagel scene was opened in 1994 by native New Yorker and first-time restaurateur Matt Pomerantz. He left a finance career to open the new family business with his parents, who owned a clothing store on the LES for over three decades, back when the neighborhood was home to many Jewish immigrants and, subsequently, old-school Jewish restaurants. Find all the fixings for a bagel feast: several types of fish and salads, smoked meats, and many cream cheeses, as well as egg sandwiches popular with the finance crowd. In addition to the Tribeca original, there are now Flatiron, UWS, and Midtown East locations as well." - Alexandra Ilyashov
