I know they are not located in Brooklyn, NY but the taste of their bagels are really close to that of a New York one! Thy make really good bagels; soft on the inside and crunchy on the outside. They also have great flavored bagels, especially the orange-cranberry which my husband inquired about, but he was told they only made it seasonally! The only two things I don't like about that place is that they close so early and their bagels get hard fast!! I wish they stayed fresher, longer!!
