Old vs New: Brooklyn’s Best Iconic Foods
Old School: Bagel Hole
We confess to a certain penchant for over-puffed, over-stuffed bagels, but if you’re looking for the real Brooklyn deal (read: modestly sized, dark and crusty, dense and slightly sweet), you can’t beat Bagel Hole. Established in 1985, this tiny Park Slope spot hand-forms, boils and bakes their old-style bagels on premises, making them far superior to other sorry steamed specimens the bakery dismisses as “rolls with holes.”
