"The bagel at Early To Rise is, like almost everything else on the menu, made from scratch in-house. They’re not too bready and are rolled in a salty-garlicky mix you’ll clean off the plate. Get it as a lox sandwich—this version comes with chive schmear, lox, tomato, red onion, and a generous heap of capers. It’s best enjoyed from one of the booths at this NoPa spot, preferably with a mug of hot coffee in one hand and a housemade donut in the other. " - julia chen 1
