A New York bagel is as an iconic representative of The Big Apple as the Statue of Liberty, it's a fact. The reputation of a bagel from NYC being the absolute best is one earned through just how good it really is. Maybe it's the air. Maybe it's the water. Me? I didn't get it. Could a bagel really be that good?

For context, all I've really had in terms of "enjoying" a bagel were stale offerings from the pink box of assorted selections from the local donut shop (you know, the ones that pop up in the office every Friday), grocery store varieties, and lunchroom cafeteria ones that were tougher than trigonometry.

But I was able to put those past opinions of a bagel's inferiority right into the waste bin after finally having an authentic bagel straight from New York. In the middle of a pandemic, the travel to there is sketchy, sure, but thanks to a Bagel of the Month Club from Bagel Boss, I got my fix delivered straight to my door. So thanks to this monthly subscription, I was able to dive right into the perfect chew that a New York City bagel is indicative of.

This Bagel of the Month Club is shipping nationwide in the U.S. and offers unique and limited flavors, as well as traditional favorites delivered straight to you in different subscription tiers and options.
