It is a known fact that the best bagels in the world come from New York City. Gotham is straight out of NYC, it's no wonder they serve the best bagels, hands down, in all of Madison. Pretty authentic NYC rude service comes with it too. But it's worth it, because the food is amazing.
To people who complain about them having a lack of bagel or cream cheese varieties because they "run-out": That's because they cook the bagels fresh everyday, no exceptions. They run out because everyone wants them!!! Stop whining and get to Gotham early.
