NYC Bagel Calendar 2017

Mr. January

_Plain bagel from [Bagel Hole](/restaurants/bagel-hole)_  
This old-school bagel is solid and compact, lending an air of stability as you forge onward into the unknown. Whatever’s around the bend, Mr. January is there for you.

Ms. February

_Poppy seed bagel with cream cheese from [Zabar’s](/shopping/zabars)_  
This uptown girl has lived on Broadway since 1934, and has a timeless splendor. Indeed, a poppy seed bagel from Zabar’s makes a great Valentine’s Day gift—no matter what picky spouses may think.

Mr. March

_Sesame bagel with Nova from [Ess-a-Bagel](/restaurants/ess-a-bagel)_  
This full-figured beauty is among the City’s largest bagels, but still boiled and baked like the old standbys.

Mr. April

_Cart bagel_  
Mr. April may not be Mr. Right, but he’s Mr. Right Now. You can find him hanging out at street carts all around the City. Sure, he’s not boiled and baked—the mass-produced marvel is steamed instead. Maybe that bit of heresy would make your Jewish grandma blush; but when we’ve needed  a quick carb fix desperately enough, we’ve all reached for this doughy bad boy.

Mr. May

_Everything bagel with whitefish salad from [Terrace Bagels](/restaurants/terrace-bagels)_  
This sturdy dough ring goes especially well with the likes of whitefish. Don’t be fooled by his tough exterior…once you break through that crunchy shell, he’s soft on the inside.

Ms. June

_Rainbow bagel from the [Bagel Store](http://www.thebagelstoreonline.com)_  
This colorful new arrival caused quite a stir when she burst onto the Williamsburg scene in late 2015. Go ahead—find out what the kids wait in line for.

Ms. July

_Poppy seed bagel with cream cheese from [Black Seed Bagels](/restaurants/black-seed-bagels-nolita)_  
Ooh la la. This petite marvel is prepared in true French-Canadian style, but it hasn’t taken her long to capture New Yorkers’ hearts.

Mr. August

_Bagel with a schmear from [Murray’s Bagels](/restaurants/murrays-bagels)_  
There’s nothing wrong with bringing home this old-fashioned guy—a model of decency from a Greenwich Village shop whose owner got his love of traditional Jewish appetizing fare from his dad.

Mr. September

_Sesame bagel with egg and cheese from [Bagels on the Square](http://bagelsonthesquarewestvillage.com)_  
When you wake up, there’s nothing you’d rather see than a piping-hot egg-and-cheese sandwich from this reliable West Village bagelry.

Ms. October

_Everything 2.0 bagel with sturgeon (by candlelight) at [Sadelle’s](/restaurants/sadelles)_  
Indulge in a romantic evening with this new twist on a classic. You'll love her even more alongside caviar and candlelight.

Ms. November

_Bialy from [Kossar’s Bialys](/restaurants/kossars-bialys)_  
Ah, the bialy. That Jewish breadstuff that’s not quite a bagel. Hiding in the corner, unappreciated, like Rachel Leigh Cook in _She’s All That_. Once this wallflower comes out of her shell, you may realize she’s been the one all along (in the case of this shop, at least since 1936).

Ms. December

_Bagel with lox and cream cheese from [Russ & Daughters](/restaurants/russ-daughters)_  
That’s salty belly lox—the hard, cured stuff, not the more common smoked salmon. Get yourself together…your mouth is watering.

Estos bagels calientes y masticables te mantendrán lleno todo el año.
