Apollo Bagels 8.6
East Village
Vibes: Trendy Table Hotspots Quick Bites Champions Instagram Worthy Wonders
A newer East Village counter spot doing sourdough-leaning, oven-hot bagels with a shattery crust and pronounced chew. The menu is tight, focused on fish-forward sandwiches and top-tier cream cheeses. Lines can be real, but the bagels deliver on texture and flavor.
Must-Try Dishes: Smoked salmon bagel with dill and capers, Everything bagel with scallion cream cheese, Whitefish salad bagel
