Best Bagels in the Boston Area?

(From Our Questions and Answers Feature)

It seems difficult to find good bagels around Boston. I've had some decent ones at Kupel's in Brookline, Zeppy's (now closed) in Randolph, and Bagel Rising in the Back Bay, but none of them really stand out, especially compared to some of the incredible bagels I've had in and around New York City (Main Street Bagel in Queens may have the best bagels I've ever tried). Does anyone know of any truly great places for bagels in the Boston area?

There is a place in Chelsea (right off the Tobin) called Katz. These are the best bagels I have had in Boston.

The very best bagels, in both flavor and texture, are at Newman's Bakery, Humphrey Street, Swampscott. (Yes, they're better than Kupel's and Katz.)
Don't go on Saturday because they're closed, but go early for a full selection. And don't forget to try their chive cheese or their Challah.
