JERSEY CITY, NJ – If you live in New Jersey, you know that New York City is the bagel capital of the world, but one New Jersey city made the cut in a recent Best Cities for Bagel Lovers Top 10.
When you leave New York City, great bagels are not as hard to find as they are in most other parts of the country. New Jersey does a pretty good bagel statewide.
But one city made the list, competing with major cities such as San Francisco, Boston, Orlando and Philadelphia.
That city was unexpected because you don’t necessarily think of it when you think bagels.
Sitting across the Hudson River from New York City is Jersey City. It was recently ranked 5th by Lawn Love as being home to some of the tastiest bagels in America.
When it comes to bagel schmears, no other city can compete with New York City.
“New York stands tall as the nation’s bagel empire for the second year in a row. The Bagel Apple brings home the gold in bagel popularity, with locals and tourists alike seeking out the city’s most iconic breakfast food,” according to John Schmidt, Communications Manager for Lawn Love.
