Ess-a-Bagel - Midtown East 4.17/5
Award: Bagel of Note
Store
Patisserie-style interior befitting the neighborhood vibes. A little confusing order flow but I went when it was empty so hard to judge. Separate areas for ordering prepared bagels and straight bagged bagels. Tons of attractive cream cheese options available. Nice staff despite the more formal air. Large variety of non-bagel offerings. Cool Ess-a-Bagel merch available.
4/5
Bagel
A beefy bagel, substantial in size and mouth presence. One-sided toppings, but neutralized by a near perfect topping composition on the side applied. Very light crunch, doughy but not tedious. Freshness very apparent despite not being warm.
4.5/5
Cream Cheese
Cream cheese fresh and firm, not overly refrigerated. Even application with no messiness. Scallion ratio is solid, with periodic pops of texture.
4/5
The definitive bagel survey of New York City. 202 bagels reviewed across all five boroughs, with notes of distinction given to the best stores, spreads and bagels. http://everythingiseverything.nyc/
The collection is part one of "Post Clarity," a 5-part NFT series documenting "2020: Total Clarity" by creative duo Highley Varlet. During "Total Clarity," artists Mike Varley and Jessi Highet walked 260 marathons and 7,000 miles around the five boroughs of NYC over one calendar year. https://highleyvarlet.com/
