Ok. My wife and I are bagel snobs. We drive 20+ miles at home to get the best bagels. I've flown back from NYC with three dozen bagels after business trips. With that being said, St. Viateur bagels rock. I got the sesame seed, and my wife got the rosemary and sea salt. They were both excellent, with the right amount of bite and chewiness. Not to mention out of the oven kind of fresh. Definitely worth the walk out to the neighborhood.
