East Side Bagel makes an awesome sable sandwich. Their tuna platter was also really refreshing. Lots of New York deli options without the groady feel. Fresh fish and fast service.
Maybe I'm not looking hard enough, but to date this is the only place I can find that has near perfect chopped herring salad. I'd suggest ordering delivery over actually going though, because even though the food is good, the store is kind of dingy looking.
This place has been redone and it looks A LOT nicer…. but still seems sort of under construction. There are white paint spots on the wall and a pretty big hole above the refrigerated juices. Other than that, its definitely a lot brighter and cleaner looking than the past.
The bagels aren't bad… the prices are a little high for a bagel store.
Best bagel place in the neighborhood in my opinion. I don't get bagels often but when I do, this is the place I go despite out of the way- over any of the more convenient locations.
They also have great yogurt parfait, fruit salad, a number of pastries — fresh squeezed orange juice … And my latest find today–
Fresh squeezed juices made to order- the delicious carrot juice is what I had and it was great .
Highly recommend for bagels, fresh juices and other breakfast options !
I'm having second thoughts about Eastside Bagels. I still like the bagels, and the location is still convenient, but their prices seem pretty high, and they could be less cranky. If the bagels were better and/or cheaper I would put up with cranky, but not so much here.
I came here with my boyfriend a few weeks ago for a quick breakfast before heading to a fun afternoon event in Hoboken. While Mike was disappointed with the lack of selection at such an early hour on the wkend, I was disappointed with my stale bagel. I may live around the corner from this establishment but I really doubt I'm going to come back anytime soon.
I'm always let down to find bagels that aren't up to snuff here in New York. but recently we stopped by here on a busy Saturday morning and discovered that to be the case.
no egg bagel? at 11 AM? alright, fine, cinnamon raisin it is. it was just…eh. not bad, but just tasted like flavored dough instead of that unique shock to the system (as Billy Idol himself may call it) that you get from a true New York bagel. Caroline wasn't impressed with her bagel either.
the coffee was alright. again, kind of mediocre.
I'd blame it on being a slow day, but nope, it was Saturday morning, prime time. judging from some other recent reviews, it used to be pretty good but is slipping.
