Master Critic Review

Broad Nosh Bagels 8.3
Upper West Side (Central)
Broad Nosh Bagels is a high-output neighborhood bagel shop known for big, chewy New York–style bagels, loaded breakfast sandwiches, and a long cream-cheese lineup. The Broadway space runs on constant lines, takeaway orders, and a few indoor and sidewalk seats that make it an easy grab-and-go stop before a park walk or commute.
Must-Try Dishes: Everything Bagel with scallion cream cheese, Broad Nosh Special breakfast sandwich (egg, avocado, cream cheese), Norwegian smoked salmon (Nova lox) bagel
