LIE Bagels - 3/5
Store
A corner store in the deli style along the Horace Harding Expressway. Gritty interior with classic, slotted-vinyl signage. A mom and pop team behind the counter makes for an endearing order experience. Overall, the lack of resemblance to a bagel store experience keeps the score tamped down.
3/5
Bagel
Medium-sized bagel with a small central hole. Not cut all the way through. Overly chewy, though no other hallmarks of bagel age. The toppings (standard) mark the most interesting thing here: one-sided at high density with excellent salt ratio and a very briny sheen. It's this salt experience that drags up the overall score.
3/5
Cream Cheese
Served cool. Excessive application but evenly distributed on the bagel. Not much scallion play and too cheese forward. Unlike most other spreads that hit as overly ripe, I can see a demographic for this flavor profile but it isn't me.
3/5
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/
