Baba's Marketplace
7.7
Baba’s Marketplace is a 24-hour Morningside Heights deli–bodega with a surprisingly deep bagel sandwich section, from classic lox and cream cheese to builds like the Valley Bagel and Bagel Gone Bananas. It’s less about sit-down ambiance and more about always-available bagels that are easy to grab on your way to or from campus at almost any hour.
