Bagels are one of New York's most iconic foods—and for good reason.
There must be something magical in the water here in New York that gets the perfect amount of chewiness outside and softness inside.
Our friends at Yelp helped us put together a list of the top 10 bagel shops in the city.
Yelp reviewers named the Upper West Side's Absolute Bagels their number one pick, but it’s pretty hard to go wrong with a bagel anywhere in New York.
#10 Penny House Café
732 Washington Avenue, Brooklyn
Prospect Heights
It may be a hole-in-the-wall, but customers go nuts for Penny House’s breakfast sandwiches and bagels, especially with the spicy tuna salad, and the shop’s Brooklyn-y vibe.
“Loved the lox and cream cheese bagel—perfect proportions,”writes Yelp reviewer Rachel M. “What a delightful spot. Playing NPR with yummy food and air conditioning? Yes please!”

Because several factors are taken into account, this is why you may see a 3.5-star restaurant with 500 reviews showing above a 4-star one with 15 reviews.
#9 Murray's Bagels Chelsea
242 8th Avenue
Chelsea
The slogan for Murray’s Bagels is “we don’t toast.” That just goes to show how fresh their bagels are.
Try their new David Burke special, says Allison S. Named for the famous chef, it’s “their traditional lox but with ‘pastrami salmon.’ Gives it more a cured-salty taste. Absolutely satisfying.”

#8 Barney Greengrass
541 Amsterdam Avenue
Upper West Side
Barney Greengrass may not sound like the name of a bagel shop, but don’t let that stop you from enjoying a bagel with some of their specialty fishes like lox, whitefish, or tuna.
“The whitefish salad here on an everything bagel will CHANGE your life,”raves Michelle L. And just as an added perk, scenes from the movie “You’ve Got Mail” were filmed here.
