Ask a New Yorker what they like about bagels, and you may get a whole slew of answers. For some, it's the chewiness. Others point to the shiny exterior. Despite everyone's personal judging criteria, at least New Yorkers can agree that we have the best in the country, hands down. Putting that ethos to the test is New York BagelFest.
Celebrating one of New York’s most iconic foods, New York BagelFest is rolling into town for its seventh year, coming back to Citi Field on Sunday, November 15. The festival will gather over 25 of the finest bagel shops from around the world, all to compete for the title of “Best Bagel.” Naturally, bagel shops repping NYC will be in attendance, including Curley's Bagels, Ess-A-Bagel and Utopia Bagels. National and international talent will also be hand-rolling and kettle-boiling their best, including Dallas' Starship Bagel and Detroit's Bev's Bagels, as well as a few bagel makers from Ireland, Spain, Canada and India. It's all taken to a vote by a panel of judges, including TimeOut's own food and drink editor Morgan Carter. Think you've got the chops? Cast your vote for "People's Choice" before you run into the inevitable carb-induced coma.
BagelFest is going down on Sunday, November 15. Tickets range from $69 to $349 for packages. Session one is alredy sold out, so buy your tickets here.
