    As a New Yorker, I have pretty High standards for bagels. But this place is great! They've got a huge selection of bagels and artisanal cream cheeses. The sriracha guava cream cheese is amazing.

    The new Breakfast Sandwich is AWESOME! The pumpernickle bread is ridiculously good and the side of potatoes are delicious! And only for $7.50. Just found my new break from shopping spot.

    Unsure how long it will last, but $5.99 lunch special including drink from 12 to 3 during the week is about a $4.50 savings.

    The food here is great: if you're looking for a delicious lunch spot, try the goat cheese BLT, the avocado salad, or any of the flagels.

    The corn beef hash is a tad mushy; 11th City Diner's is much better.
