Bagels

[billfromlaketravis 11377]

My go-to's: 

1) Hot Bagel

2) NY Deli in Meyerland 

3) Bob's Bagels on Dairy Ashford

Hot Bagel is the better bagel, but I like the coffee at NY Deli better. Bob's is solid, but it's a distant third. They do sell 4 frozen bagels for a $1. Excellent value. 

I haven't been able to find a good New York style egg and cheese sandwich. Any recommendations?

It’s basically a bacon, egg, and cheese on a kaiser roll. They usually serve them at bodegas in NYC. I’ve also seen it called a bodega sandwich. 
 

You can also use a bagel or any hard roll. I’m sure we’ve all made something similar at home, but they are better up north.

NY Deli still slams. Coffee is pretty good, but they switched from a Brooklyn based company to Katz (Houston based). 

My go to order : 

Breakfast special 

3 strips bacon 

Poppy seed bagel and scallion cream cheese 

Potato pancake 

Scrambled eggs

Rescinded on NY Deli. They’ve fallen off a cliff.

New discovery: Central Market boiled down everything bagels. Easily a top 5 Houston bagel these days.

That said, Hot Bagel Shop is cheaper for bagels + cream cheese. Good luck in that parking lot. I usually park at Red Lion so I don’t get blocked in.
