Best Bagel and Coffee ever

by barrac at Citysearch

I was cold and my feet sore for exploring the city as a visitor at Christmas, walked in to Lenny's and the aroma of coffee and bagels was the most welcome aroma ever. After being handed my bagel, oozing with wonderful cream cheese. I found a stool and had the most delightful, friendly conversation with a young local. So much for New Yorkers not being friendly! Hats off to Lennys, I'll be back next week for another visit with a group of friends from Vancouver. The whole experience was the best part of my day!

Thank you

• Pros: Cozy
• Cons: not enough seats

crispy outside, chewy inside, best bagel

I took an onion bagel with lox spread, which served toasted and hot. Cream cheese was slightly melting so looked more tasty. Crispy out, chew and soft in. Some say Lenny's bagel is better than H&H in taste and service, and I totally agreed. Lox was great, too. It tasted fresh, not air-dried. I burned my lips a bit because I rushed for my cappuccino, but it was worthy. Coffee and bagel together were one of the best taste I've ever had in New York City. I was full, satisefied. Next time I'll try another flavor.

• Pros: Fast, friendly. Great bagel ever.
• Cons: If you concern about ambience much, you should take out.
