just replied, had not seen your pm and really did not know about advertising. my sincere apologies, my plugs were not intended to circumvent paid advertising, won't do again.
I bring back bagels from NY Bagel Deli in Miami every trip. They are NYC quality. Not the best NYC quality but very good. Going there friday on my way home.
If bagels and more set up delivery, it would be great. Order a dozen every sunday or monday. I would like to see what the pastrami looks like if they have it.
My grandfather and uncle were bakers in Jewish bakeries. I miss having fresh bagels dropped of at the front door every morning. I will just cherish those memories and give up the quest of looking for bagels here.
If they were Jewish baked they would be "beigels" not bagels.......beigels are probably what DV had in London......a very different thing to the US bagel.
When I was growing up, the old Jewish East End of London was replete with beigel shops. I remember clearly going to those places with my late father and uncles. They were usually in the basements and cellars of houses bombed out in the "Blitz"...they were dark, hot and steamy caverns down rickety wooden stairs. The beigel-machers were all, at least in the eyes of a little boy, huge men wearing vests (the English kind) sweating over the steaming cauldrons in which the beigels were boiled before they were glazed and baked in a hole-in-the-wall brick oven on long planks of wood. In a side room the dough would be prepared and shaped....the way they got the hole in the middle was always a topic for jokes among the men which I never understood, partly because of my juvenile innocence but more likely because they were told in Yiddish to which, in my own Spanish & Portuguese childhood, I had yet to be exposed................

Bagels & More, when at the old location, was originally importing their bagels from H&H in New York. Many of us felt that when they changed suppliers and bought a lesser quality in Miami, that was the beginning of their downfall and eventually closing.
grandfather? likely this is the place: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomaszów_Mazowiecki
more towards on topic, i am surprised because i have not seen bagels/beigels in poland when i was younger. of course my city was as far from krak?w as possible and had different demographic than most parts of the country. many jewish dishes have been adopted by polaks and became staple foods, but not bagels...

The original H&H have been defunct since going "meholla" in 2012 and closing their two Upper West Side and Hell's Kitchen locations. The Upper East Side "H&H" has different owners and today, only the name (not the quality or reputation) is the same.
I concur on the UES "H&H" being inferior to the original, but it is still in the top 5 in NYC.
JUMBO on First / 55th is better or equal to original H&H.
OK Bb, but DR bagels is something of a rather limited subject and the new BnM is really the only show in town. It has a couple of Levantine dishes too that you won't find outside of Falafel Zona Colonial.................which is also an exceptional place and well worth trying even if a little off topic............
