At 72nd St. Bagel, there is not a lot of seating, but there are plenty of options to tickle your tastebuds. Spreads, Salads, Heimische food galore. The pizza bagels are nice and messy; the sandwiches are packed with plenty of add-ons; the bagels are fresh and filling, but slightly small for a New York bagel. (Insider's tip: try the salad bar: they allow up to seven add-ins all for the same price).
