Notes:
This is a place I've been to a couple of times before, but this was Patrick's first visit. A Beauty's bagel is of the Montreal Style, which is hand-rolled, boiled in honey-water and baked in a wood-fired oven. The result is a more diminutive bagel, crisp on the outside and chewy on the inside. For all of these reasons, I'm a fan.
On every occasion that I've been here, and any occasion in the future, I have and I will order the Classic. One of my absolute favorite things is this - a bagel (preferably, Everything bagel) with cream cheese, smoked salmon, thinly sliced red onion, capers, and a slice of fresh tomato. That combination of flavors just does something for me. (It gets me excited!!) On this visit there was no tomato, since they're out of season - or at least I hope that's the reason - but I was still perfectly happy. Next time, I'll try it un-toasted, I just found out that's a major thing.
Patrick was satisfied with his bagel and cream cheese. It wasn't anything for him to scream and shout about, but it was all-in-all good. The beauty of this place (ha! I'm not changing it!) is their extensive menu, so you're bound to find something good, even if bagels don't ring your bell. Trouble is, if a bagel is all you need, and you don't have a bagel obsession (see "that's a major thing", above), you might be just as happy at House of Bagels, which is only blocks away from our apartment.
I'll definitely return for the Classic, though. Maybe when tomatoes are back in season.
