Murray's Bagels

The Scene
With its exposed-brick walls and soda bottle-lined wooden shelves, this family-run shop feels like something out of 1950s Brooklyn. Bins of fresh bagels rest behind the counter, and there are always a few customers sitting at one of the few tables inside or on one of two wooden benches out front.

The Food
The soft bagels--made fresh on-site--are good; if you go in the morning, especially on weekends, you'll stand a chance of getting a warm one. The selection is standard--onion, poppy, cinnamon-raisin, pumpernickel--and the array of smoked fish is fairly impressive. The scruffy-looking post-collegiate types behind the counter also make a good deli sandwich. To drink, grab something from Murray's stock of fruit drinks and iced teas.
