It’s no secret that I love bagels. I have made them a time or two. Or three. I even made my own lox! And I may or may not have declared the first time I bit into my homemade bagel one of the happiest days of my life. Sad or inspiring, you decide. But nothing- and I mean nothing- compares to a fresh NYC bagel. Is it the water or what? That’s why I’m so excited about this Bagel Of The Month Club giveaway!!! Make sure to scroll down to the bottom to enter.Â
Bagel Of The Month Club is so genius I wish I thought of it myself. They make fresh, kosher bagels every hour (water boiled and then baked in an NYC brick oven) and deliver them straight to your door complete with schmear. They’ll even throw in rugelach if you want! Best. Present. Ever. I know living in Texas it is impossible to get a decent bagel so this is kind of priceless. Breakfast taco, sure, but bagel, no way. Now, what wants NYC bagels of their very own??Â
To enter the giveaway, which includes a dozen bagels, a bag of bagel chips and some of their delicious sweets:

Devorah Winegarten says
Favorite bagel topping, gotta be red onion and lox with a tiny bit of real cream cheese, and if it’s a garlic bagel? I’m in true heaven!
Robin Southern says

Anne says
I love a pumpernickel bagel with the inside scooped out and stuffed with salmon salad, red onion and tomato.
Sonya Delgado says
I love bagels! I have them for breakfast practically every morning. My favorite way is with cream cheese or goat cheese and lox.
dkny says
My favorite topping is cream cheese slathered with really good quality lox – preferably sliced at an appetizing store rather than a pre-sliced package. Second choice for topping is scallion cream cheese – also made at an appetizing store rather than a supermarket container. My New York secret is that I don’t love bagels, but I do love bialys.
Amy Kritzer says
Bialys are my favorite too! I need to make them some time.
Devorah Winegarten says

I want to get these bagels for my parents. live in NYC, and they are former New Yorkers who miss bagels terribly. My favorite topping is definitely the traditional cream cheese, lox, capers and red onion. Sometimes I like cream cheese and garlicky dill pickles. Mmmmm.

Depends on my mood. Sometimes a warm, crunchy bagel with butter melting on top is just heaven! Other times, whitefish salad is da bomb! Also tuna salad. Of course, cream cheese, lox, onion, capers, cucumber and tomato is usually the best way to go. I live in Memphis, home to 10,000 Jews and no delis other than Schlotsky’s or Jason’s! Send a sister some love!

LOVE this giveaway- might be my favorite blogger giveaway, ever? I love olive and pimento creamcheese atop my bagels!
Amy Kritzer says
HAHA better than a KitchenAid?
Rachel says
KitchenAids are fantastic. Great NYC bagels delivered to my door in San Francisco (where there is a lack of good bagels) might be better!
Amy Kritzer says
HAHA I like your priorities!
Cathy Pollak ~ Noble Pig says
Just cream cheese and I am good!!
Amy Kritzer says
Classic but delicious!
Laripu says
My homemade lox is my favorite topping. Cured and smoked, it’s so much better than commercial lox. Unfortunately, Tampa being what it is, it’s only cool enough to cold-smoke salmon in the season that passes for winter here.
bmk says
This is the best idea ever! I’m in Texas too and there are no good bagels here. I love an everything bagel topped with cream cheese, lox, and tomato.
Amy Kritzer says
Great combo!
Danny says
Some cream cheese and lox will get the job done for me, but if there is more stuff laying around, it all goes on.
By the way, for what it’s worth, there is an amazing bagel place in Houston called the Hot Bagel Shop. I know you are in Austin and it’s not worth the drive, but if for some reason you ARE ever in Houston you really need to stop by in the morning (the earlier the better, before they sell out!) and get a little bit of everything. It’s a great little shop and the prices are fantastic.
Amy Kritzer says
Thanks for the tip, Danny! I’ve been meaning to go to Houston anyways for Kenny and Ziggy’s anyways. That could be an epic eating day!
Danny says
I just ate at K&Zs for the first time a couple of weeks ago. Epic is truly the appropriate word for that place.
Chuck Katz says
Definately a toasted onion bagel
Brandy says
Toasted everything bagel with veggie cream cheese, green peppers and onion. Yummm!
Christina says
A bagel with a plain cream cheese and a healthy pile of lox on top is my favorite. Even my bagel hating husband will sneak bites of mine when I top it like this.
Christina says
And I of course follow WJWE on Facebook because it’s the best.
Amy Kritzer says

Like a lot of other people, cream cheese, onion & lox does the trick! But when I can find a gooey, super cinnamon bagel, it needs nothing else!

Onion bagel lightly toasted with lots of whipped cream cheese, nova (of course) and thinly sliced red onion … I will gladly suffer from swollen ankles just for another taste of a real bagel from my beloved home town … Portland, Oregon is definitely not the Mecca for Jewish cuisine.

Definitely cream cheese. I receive what Jew wanna eat emails!
