Mehh sandwiches. Just buy a dozen bagels and take them home.

Devour fresh hot bagels from the legendary spot. But don’t ask for it toasted - they’ll say no.

Order the whole wheat everything. Or whatever's hot. But don't dawdle, because these guys don't have time for that, ok?

I was excited to try the bagels here, but never got the chance because no one offered to take my order after standing at the counter for about 1-2 min. Never going to return.
