Sparkie: Get a classic spread of smoked fish, cream cheese, and a bagel, matzoh brei, or scrambled eggs with lox and onion. For the less classically-inclined, there's also chocolate babka french toast.
Deborah Au-Yeung: Hackle back caviar and blinis, get them. Bloody Marys - I had one with caraway and another one with fenugreek. Get the classic lox on an everything bagel. Finish with challah bread pudding. Holla!
Martina Ekman: I'm sure the classic platter with lox is delicious, but go out of your comfort zone here. The super heebster bagel toast is incredible. Come before 10 on weekends to skip the line!

kW: Best lox & bagel I have ever tasted!
ドーラ: Puppy seeds bagels with sun-dried tomato cream cheese and lox are delicious. Huge hand-made bagels with a very generous portion of cream cheese for just $3.50. Plenty of indoor seating. Great service.
The Corcoran Group: The lox sandwich here has been voted best in the city - we love it on a whole wheat everything bagel with lite scallion cream cheese. The lines here can be crazy during the weekends, so be prepared.
Mike Dudas: Best bagels in New York City without a question. My favorite is a warm poppyseed bagel with sliced lox, scallion cream cheese and a slice of tomato. Their cream cheese flavors are exceptional as well.
David B: 3rd favorite bagel in NY...which is high praise! Doughy and chewy bread, great lox, cream cheese and toppings. A little pricey though.
Natalia Cruz: Best bagel ever. Delicious and the coffee is really tasty too. Love it all. Try the salmon LOX and the cinnamon, raisins and walnut/ los mejores bagel que he comido en mi vida, el café es rico también

Noah Weiss: Everyone says get the lox, and they're not wrong. But Russ & Daughters has as good lox, so you should really get what Murray's does best: whitefish salad on a bagel. They'll put a 1/2 pound on, too.
Jasmine Tagorda: Pastrami Lox on an Everything Bagel and Chive Cream Cheese is yum! But my usual is the Veggie Cream Cheese on a Rye Bagel, simplicity at its best!
Ana Marie 💃: Classic, hand pulled NY bagels. Delicious house cured meats and Lox. Shallot cream cheese is awesome

Alicia: One of the best bagels and lox in the city. Be sure to get there early so you can snatch up one of their tasty Everything bagels. They're a hot item and sell out quickly.
