Bo's Bagels

A Harlem bagel shop on 116th Street that bakes everything from scratch in-house: smaller, denser, old-school bagels with a lightly crisp outside and real chew, in more than a dozen flavors running from plain to za'atar to onion and garlic.

The one to try is the pumpernickel cranberry, dark and faintly sweet, with plain cream cheese. For something bigger, the lox cream cheese with lettuce and tomato, untoasted, or a bacon, egg and American cheese eaten on the spot.
