I was surprised and disappointed at how terrible the bagels were in Boston when I moved here 5 years ago. Everyone said to go to kupels. I really don't think they're anything special.

Katz's in Chelsea has been making real bagels for over 50 years. I've enjoyed them ever since I can remember. Pizza bagels are an added treat!
