2 Greenwich Village Bagel Spots Named Among Best In New York City

GREENWICH VILLAGE, NY — Best bagel rankings are as serious as it gets in New York City, and a recent list from Eater NY placed a pair of Greenwich Village spots within the top 15 in the five boroughs.

The food news and restaurant review website posted a list Wednesday of the 15 "Best Bagels in New York City Right Now."

Without further ado, here are those two lauded Greenwich Village bagel spots that made the list.

Murray's Bagels: 500 Sixth Ave. (near West 13th Street)

Opening in 1996, it is maybe the best known bagel spot in Greenwich Village.

Murray's serves up more than 15 different types of bagels, such as onion, poppy seed, sesame, pumpernickel, and cinnamon raising.

Here's what Eater NY had to say about it.

"The result is a space with large but light bagels with a crackly crust and modest interior chew," Eater NY wrote. "Beyond standard cream cheeses, cured fish, and egg fillings, Murray’s specialty is substantial meat and poultry sandwiches, made from salami, hot corned beef, chicken cutlets, and just about any deli meat or fish salad one can think of."

Modern Bread and Bagel: 139 W. 14th St.

It might be better known for its Upper West Side location, but the more recently opened outpost on 14th Street has also been turning heads.

The entire menu is gluten free and kosher, but despite the dietary restrictions, the bagels continued to be ranked near the top in the city.

Here's what Eater NY had to say about it.

"The salads that can be put on bagels are innovative and often delicious, including a Tel Aviv-style egg salad, chopped fine and extensively herbed, and a tuna salad that replicates the recipe of France’s vaunted Tunisian sandwich," Eater NY wrote.
