New York’s favorite bagel shop is officially in the “room where it happens.” To celebrate the 10th anniversary of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Hamilton, H&H Bagels is launching its first-ever Broadway partnership—and naturally, it’s a toast to the city that birthed them both.
Starting Friday, July 25, all five H&H locations will offer two limited-time menu specials inspired by the record-breaking musical. First up: the Revolutionary Lemon Poppyseed Cream Cheese, a zesty spread with enough zing to duel a plain schmear into submission. Then there’s the Taylor Hamilton Egg & Cheese, a stacked bagel sandwich featuring Taylor Ham, scrambled eggs, American cheese and a kick of hot honey, a tribute to New Jersey’s favorite breakfast meat and one of New York’s greatest immigrant success stories.

Both items will be available through Sunday, August 17, and the lemon poppyseed schmear will also ship nationwide. Consider it your edible souvenir of the $10 founding father.
H&H, itself a New York institution since 1972, has seen enough drama to warrant its own off-Broadway saga, including bankruptcy battles, late-night closures and a cameo on Seinfeld. But in recent years, the brand has staged a comeback worthy of a standing ovation. With a booming wholesale business, nationwide shipping and aggressive expansion plans (including 25 new locations across the U.S.), H&H is once again riding high.
As for Hamilton, the musical’s legacy continues to reshape the Broadway canon and beyond. Since its 2015 debut, it’s racked up 11 Tony Awards, a Pulitzer Prize, and legions of fans who can rap the entire Cabinet Battle by heart. This new collab is the perfect celebration of New York, its classics and the joy of a great bagel paired with a cultural phenomenon.
No matter if you’re a lifelong Upper West Sider or a tourist on a Broadway pilgrimage, now’s the time to rise up and grab a bagel. Just don’t throw away your shot—these specials are gone after August 17.
