Fantastic bagel shop that makes great bagels. Pretty cool that they are open 24 hours. Very simple, no frills.
I don't see any reason to compare/contrast with New York. The bagels are fantastic and are certainly better than anything I found on the West Coast during my 11 years there.
A tip: I tend to go in the mornings so maybe it's different at other times of day, but I have the distinct impression that the sesame (and maybe the poppy and plain) bagels are baked on constant loop, while the all-dressed and rosemary bagels are baked with less frequency. Thus, each morning the sesame bagels were so warm and fresh that it would have been an unconscionable crime to toast them, while the other flavors, though delicious, were not as fresh. So, I would advise getting sesame bagels if you plan on eating them right away, but including all-dressed and rosemary in your order if you're taking some home to toast at a later date.
