I know, I know, you want toasted bagels, but you might as well ask for them to grate american cheese all over your spaghetti, it's blasphemous. get some other bread.
a good bagel is fresh and is not toasted. period. the outer shell will have this certain crispness to it that only lasts as long as it's fresh. you know those blisters you've seen on the crust? they capture air in such a way.... And then, the contrast between that and the incomprehensibly soft interior... it's nice enough to make a man weep, but I don't weep, do you?
if you walk into a bagel place with a toaster, consider leaving.
if they don't have a toaster, and you walk in, and it smells malty, and you can't possibly bring yourself to leave, that's the spot. Order an everything bagel with plain or scallion cream cheese, smoked salmon, red onion, and capers.
Murray's might be my favorite.

Toasted with cream cheese, fresh tomato slices, cornichons (or bread and butter pickles in a pinch) and chive is amazing.

The perfect combination of sweet, salty, savory, and tangy. Bonus points if the bagels are from Gunther Tooties!

Highly underrated. Bonus if they’re everything pumpernickel— warm with a dollop of butter and no cheese 🤓

I feel like this place isn't about people but about recommendations, right? forget the influencer, forget the individual, just browse and talk about cool shit and whoever says something good, that's good. that's what I liked about reddit, back when I actually liked reddit.
I haven't found many people I want to follow, and I'm not really looking.

I've been enjoying new clothes, and experimenting them with fun ways, so much lately that I need to keep reminding myself of this. Not every excursion outside needs to be fresh and new and experimental. If I am going out and I need a warm sweater and I need my sneakers and I already have a fit in mind with those pieces, I can just wear it, I don't need to reinvent the wheel every time.
