Bagel with cream cheese and Lox. Can't beat it. In New York. Perfect. Can't say the workers or cashier were very nice but the bagel couldn't be beat. I can put up with attitude if I get the bagel to-go. Highly recommended for Bagel Breakfast. More

Our second visit to New York meant plenty of stops here following our positive experiences last March. Once again, we weren't disappointed. Bagels, Granola, Pancakes you name it, they serve it. Eat in or take out its your choice. We ate in most mornings before we hit the trail for the day. The food and the service was great and... More

We loved the variety of bagels and spreads that were available. We grabbed a bagel and coffee on the go one morning and it really filled us up and tasted delicious. It was a nice alternative to a diner or a heavier breakfast somewhere else. More

I've been in New York, in a hotel on Upper East Side, and few blocks away on 2nd Ave (between 76th St & 77th St) was Pick A Bagel. They won me over with all sorts of fresh bagels with tons of different cream cheeses, cereals, cookies, muffins, sandwiches, salads .... Service is fast, nice, with smile. Prices are quite... More

Pick A Bagel has apparently just changed management. We wandered into it the second day we visited New York, and had at least one meal there (sometimes 2) every day we were there. It was clean and had a wide variety of foods which you could get to-go or sit at one of the tiny tables in the restaurant. One... More
