Battle of the Bagels
Who will be crowned NYC’s Best Bagel? 🥯🏆
Find out at the 2nd annual Battle of the Bagels — a blind taste test featuring three of New York’s most celebrated bagel shops. Plus fresh fruit, juice and all your favorite bagel toppings.
At the end, everyone votes on their favorite bagel, and we’ll announce the winner 🥇
🥯 TOP 5 REASONS TO ATTEND BATTLE OF THE BAGELS 🥯
Bagels. Obviously. We’ll have top contenders from NYC’s most beloved bagel shops, plus spreads, toppings, fruit, juice, and Zebrina’s artisanal cream cheese (can you say chili-lime-peanut schmear?)
Power. You will help decide the 2026 Bagel Champion. Democracy may be struggling, but bagel voting is alive and well.
Drama. Can last year’s winner Apollo defend the crown, or will a hungry challenger rise like perfectly pulled dough?
Rooftop vibes. A private Soho roof terrace, city views, spring sunshine, and socially acceptable carb-loading before 3pm.
Story value. Years from now, you can tell people: “I was there when the bagel wars changed everything.”
We’re capping attendance at 60, and asking $25 to cover food/drinks. Dairy-free spreads will be available.
Address provided upon RSVP.
