on our recent visit to nook, we peeked in the window of western bagel and saw bialys. sadly, they are not real bialys. they are bread with bialy ingredients baked on top. and our carb-heavy breakfast left my tummy a little upset. not all was lost as the chocolate chip bagel was good with a good crumb and not too sweet. the salt bagel was nothing like that at bagel nosh. it was pillowy, less dense, but when i bit into it, the bitten edge stayed squished so it was also gummy. not my favorite. oh, bagel nosh, why can’t you be open at 630am on weekends?
