Murray’s Bagels in Greenwich Village
Murray’s Bagels has been a Greenwich Village institution since 1996, when Adam Pomerantz opened the 6th Avenue flagship and named it for his father. The bagels are hand-rolled, boiled, and baked fresh daily the old-school way, and the appetizing case is stocked with smoked fish, salads and schmears.
This is a morning-and-midday spot: a busy counter operation where you order your bagel, pick your fish, and take it to go or grab a stool. Expect a line on weekends and a classic New York bagel worth the wait.
What to Expect
