So a few weeks ago, I was walking down third ave, and hadn't had lunch yet. I walked by this bagel shop and it looked somewhat enticing... and I realized I haven't had a bagel in a long time- so why not eat one now? It was called "Pick-A-Bagel on 3rd" (it's on 3rd ave between 22nd and 23rd street) It looked to me like some kind of gourmet bagel shop. I always wanted to try an "expensive bagel" oh some sort. Haha. Well, it wasn't THAT pricey. To be honest, it ended up more like being any ol' deli on the street. There were some crazy variations of spreads though. Some ranging from, "chopped herring" to "Tofu Cream cheeses" to "Lox". (i had no idea what lox was until I wrote this post, then I googled it. the first definition is: "liquid oxygen: a bluish translucent magnetic liquid obtained by compressing gaseous oxygen and then cooling it below its boiling point; OR (the more believable definition in this case) brine-cured salmon that is lightly smoked". ( I think it's the salmon one).
Anyway, being me, I just ordered a cinnamon raisin bagel with vegetable/scallion cream cheese. It was amazing. I always love that combination of sweet and salty all at the same time. Keeps me entertained while I am eating it :)
The bagel is huge, and definitely too big to finish on your own, so I suggest sharing it or eating half and then finishing the awesomnes goodness at a later hour. The bagel itself is fresh, even though I went at around 3pm, it still tasted good. They really layer on the spread. The Vegetables and scallions are huge chunks and really are the actual veggies, not strange random salty squares that are the ones in the Dunkin Donut's veggie cream cheese. The bagel itself cost about $3.50, which is a decent price for a meal!
Taste: 4/5
Atmosphere: N/A - I just bought it to go!
Cost: $3-6
