IllustrationOn Franklin Avenue at St. Johns Place, Bagel Pub makes thick, airy, hand-rolled bagels that come out piping hot, and on a Saturday morning the line out the door is a Crown Heights rite of passage. Inside it is busy and a little chaotic, in the way that means the bagels are fresh.
Order any bagel with the za'atar cream cheese, the house spread that has made its name.
Editor’s tip
Come on a weekday morning, or bring patience and a friend to hold your place on Saturday.
