New York BagelFest Showcases Unique Bagel Creations

THB Bagelry & Deli is celebrating its 25th anniversary in Towson, Maryland, with promotions including five bacon, egg, and cheese sandwiches for $25, marking its longstanding popularity and community ties since its humble beginnings. The bagel shop has expanded to seven locations and is beloved for its authentic New York-style bagels and welcoming atmosphere, particularly after being revitalized by four cousins from Italy in 2008. Meanwhile, Mimi & Coco Bagels in Maspeth, New York, offers a wide variety of bagels and breakfast options, emphasizing fresh, hand-rolled dough and community engagement through food donations. In a sweeter twist, Butterfinger has partnered with PopUp Bagels to create a unique cream cheese spread made with Butterfinger, aiming to elevate bagel toppings. Additionally, New York will host its first BagelFest on September 28, showcasing global bagel exhibitors and various competitions, celebrating the cultural significance and versatility of bagels. This festival aims to highlight both traditional and innovative bagel creations, catering to diverse tastes.
