Yup, Snider's is still there, and their bagels, whitefish salad, and rotisserie chickens are still yummy! Good meat and produce prices too.

Cheap bagels Are just not worth it. Why bother?

Calvert Woodley has great bagels plus the necessary whitefish and lox to go with them.

New Yorkers claim they make the best bagels because of the water. A good bagel has a nice crisp outside with a chewy not too bready but dense inside. It's an art to make a perfect bagel.

And real bagels have almost a tanginess to them. Not the best word, but something along those lines.

Not near you, OP, but the bagel shop in the Bradlee center in Alexandria. Ommmm mmm mmm!

They're soft and chewy but hard and dense at the same time.

A real bagel is boiled, and small, and quite dense.

Can someone please describe what a "real" bagel is versus a fake one? You boil it, I gather. Fake ones are just chewy bread with holes. But I mean really describe the essence of the real thing. Please. Thank you from a west coast bagel non-connoissier.
