Ess-a-Bagel

This unpretentious spot is a favorite for classic New York bagels, which are served with all sorts of mouth-watering spreads, such as scallion, tofu, nova lox and sturgeon. Also on the menu are reasonably-priced salads, smoked meat and fish platters, pastries and cookies. Well located on the East Side of Midtown where quality casual dining and variety can sometimes be limited.
