Kossar's, Lower East Side, Manhattan

Discover NYC
Written By Leanne Staples

Two sweet words when seen together in a shop window! Yes, hot bagels. As in they make them there! Once you’ve had a fresh bagel out of the oven and still warm, you may never have another standard deli bagel again.

Kossar’s has been around since 1936 and apparently they are the oldest Bialy shop in the US! I haven’t tried their bialy but the bagels are fabulous. They are located in the lower Lower East Side. It’s a very cool neighborhood and they are next door to not one, but two pickle shops. Stay tuned for the posts about them.
