| - I came here with Kelly C. when Pete made such an impression on how awesome this bagel place is, we just had to try it out.
A bit of a back story, my husband's family are all from New York, Brooklyn mostly, and Queens. Brooklyn water is kind of a mythical creature. Unless you've had it, you don't really know how to comprehend just how good it is, you only hear of stories how people bottle it, ship it, bring it back to NC, because the water here just does not compare. They've always said someone should market Brooklyn water and make a business out of it.
Well guess what? Someone finally did.
Aside from awesomely awesome bagels and sandwiches. Which are totally bargain priced. And huge black and white cookies (like dinner plate huge & for $2.50??!!??). They have a soda fountain for egg cremes and lots of mixing. I love mixing my own cherry sodas, and creating new concoctions.
They also have a water tank in the back. If you're looking for the story, ask an employee. They will explain how they take Charlotte water and make it Brooklyn water. How they then use that water in the bagels, and the soda fountain, and pretty much everything else they do. They call it "Brooklynized" water.
So please. All of the people who decided to move to NC from NY. Even those who are not. Do yourself a favor and visit this place. You won't be disappointed.
