Kossar's Bagels & Bialys

Street foodLocals' pick

The oldest bialy bakery in the United States, on the Lower East Side since 1936 and on Grand Street since 1960. The bialy (bagel's flatter, onion-centred cousin) is light and puffy here; the bagels are kettle-boiled, baked on burlap boards and finished on stone.
