History of the New York Bagel: An Oven Fresh Tour 

Hey Tom. I had a tour with you in NYC like 4 months ago. It was 🔥

When I went to NYC, I had a bagel with cream cheese every morning and they were divine!

Re: Bagels from China - When I was a freshman at Cooper Union, my physics teacher described a torus (not Taurus, nor tsuris) as an object shaped like a bagel. A Chinese student tentatively raised his hand to ask: "Excuse me, but what is "bagel?" The professor thought for a few moments and replied: "A bagel is a wonton of revolution." The student: "I understand, thank you!"

Great video Tom! Would’ve been cool if you did a part two where you do the backstory of the legendary bagels spots in New York like H&H and Ess a bagel 👍🏼

As a New Yorker and history lover I really appreciate all the research and work you put into to these videos. One of my favorites channels 🙋🏽‍♀️Hello from Brooklyn!

Thanks for the video. I am from Montreal and there is a war in Montreal between St -Viateur and Fairmount bagels ... NYC and Montreal are 2 unique bagels ... both taste good

I'm originally from New York and spent 50 years of my life there. Trust me I know the difference and I miss New York Bagels but there is also plenty I don't miss about New York LOL . That said I'll say that Einstein Bagel is a door stopper if you are living in New york but it is a taste of heaven if you are living outside of New York 🥸🧐

Just had Broad Nosh bagels on 58th yesterday. Good stuff. We were talking about how more than anything else, NYC has bagels on lock down.

Tom, you’ve covered so much in your video library that it’s impossible to tally the number of Sick Plugs! Looking forward to tonight’s stream!

Learn something new everyday..46 years old and never knew bagels are boiled!😃

Just in time for my midnight coffee! 💖

Thanks Tom! Li’l known fact: bagel cutting injuries make this activity the fifth most dangerous kitchen related injury requiring an ER visit! Guess people try to cut a frozen solid bagel?! Use a schmear of good sense, yes?😂

LOVING the shout out to Montréal bagels! We love our bagels here hahahah

Fantastic job, Tom! I'm looking forward to it! Greetings from the EU!

Would definitely try it out the first if I were in New York!!!

Also in Ridgewood, Favorite bagel is Bakers Dozen on Fresh Pond

FYI- because of the bagel's density the hole allows it to bake evenly by removing the center, which is the last part to bake for everything.

I know I've said this on so many other TDNYC videos but I absolutely love when Tom tells us to relax (or chill out or calm down)! Yes I am working through some childhood trauma! 🤣

Some of y'all don't even know how chaotic is to buy a bagel in some of those places like Murray in a weekend mourning

Hello from Krakow Poland!

New York bagels!!!! Thank-you!

Thanks Tom....you keep topping yourself...I'll take an everything bagel with lox and cream cheese

Big fan Tom! have been for years but I gotta say I’m a Montreal bagel freak. NYC bagels are good but the thin sweeter bagel is my preference.

When you mention the bagel bakers union it made me think of the Seinfeld episode when Kramer announced the strikes over he’s going back to work

“ this isn’t a Ken Burnes video”. I laughed my ass off.

One thing Tom might have mentioned is that the bagels of the 1960s and before were smaller and harder than today's relatively big and soft ones. Bagel purists might complain, but it's popularity today has to do with that change.

This is the freshest video I’ve ever seen. 😊

Congrats on 70k!!!

Another excellent historic highlight peppered with your dry wit. Well done Tom & Eric! Thank you for putting in the time to bring something forward that is unmatched.

Your Supermodel pose with Bagel was Epic ;)). Dude ..Nirvana ??

Thank you for your stories and your humour! I love your videos.

Thanks again John in Chicago

Brilliant editing! lol

Great vid, amazing history, always learn a lot from your vids

Great work. I appreciated in one of the scenes you were by a billboard with a clock. I could tell you weren’t requiring many if any additional takes. Recollecting and communicating the topic you surely research looked effortless.

I only watch your videos for your bob dole impressions.

💯 Tom. Lox, stocks, and bagels

I have had NY bagels, and love them. But since I live in Southern California, hard to beat Shirley's Bagels.

Hi Tom. A Brooklyn friend introduced me to bagels. One of my favorites is pumpernickel.

Excellent as always. Thanks.🍹💖

As I remember it, H&H makes a good bagel. I moved back to Manhattan two years ago and I haven’t bought a bagel. Bad girl. “H&H Bagels was founded in New York City in 1972. For 50 years, we have used our original recipe and the same artisanal water bagel method to make our bagels - the same today as our very first day. Our bagels start with the highest quality, all-natural ingredients sourced from around the world. Then they are proofed, kettle-boiled, bathed in cold water, and oven baked. Our original recipe and traditional process is what makes our bagels “Like No Other Bagel in the World”.

70 K ! Gongrats!

Love the content of this channel!!!

“Tofu cream cheese?”-is there something wrong with Eric’s’ tastebuds? 😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😅😂😂😂😂😂😂😂🎉

Video quality looks great

Thank you Tom, that was very interesting 😊

Yummy! Thank you Tom for the video. NY has the best beagles....well best food in the world

fantastic....

I was just in New York and tried four different places for the best Lox and Bagel including Murray's and Russ & Daughters. The winner? Ess-a Bagel. The bagel was good, but the Nova was supreme!

Fantastic video! Brooklyn Bagels are in the freezer department besides the Lenders.

I wish he made one of the history of the bacon egg and cheese. Its definitely the nyc breakfast

I'M WALKIN' OVER HEEAHH!!! :D ;)

Amazing video.

HEAD LOX!!!!! That's awesome!

They're so durable and cheap to make. Filling. No wonder there's popularity for them. People survive.

This is really interesting. We have very good Bagel shop here in Bangor Maine.

Hey Tom, do a video about the NYC slice of pizza and the good spots ! " I'm walkin ova here "!

hi, do another video about College Point, Queens??

Not sure about the Kraft , Philadelphia cream cheese and the bagel theory because I was born in 1968 in Southern California in a non Jewish home and bagels and Philadelphia cream cheese were a staple in my house all through the 70’s and 80’s

Hey Tom!Woah!The well known bagels !It was marvelous!!! What's up?

Again good woirk, I thought Murray Bagles was named after Murray Lender but after selling to Kraft they could no longer use the Lender name so they went back to Murray's I guess this is why we need you

You didn't mention toppings, other then the reference to cream cheese at the end. Maybe you can delve into that area: lox, whitefish, etc.

Went to Ess a bagel on 3rd avenue in September, line was down the sidewalk. Never did get a bagel that week.

Thanks for the great tour and history of the bagel. I always thought the bagel was an American invention by Jewish people from Eastern Europe. Great videography by Eric.

SWEET / THANKS

Wha? No knish? Had a dream of a banana chasing a bagel through the Holland tunnel. Jungian that With the Spring thaw coming up will ya' lad be covering the floaters surfacing up in Wallabout Bay, Brooklyn ?

I don't know if you realize or not but you accidentally videoed THE GREEN BAG LADY OF MURRY'S BAGELS! Watch her ghost appear and dissappear! I've got chills. 👻

Don’t forget to buy your “green bagels” this month!

I love cream cheese on toasted bagels, ah that's why then

They are probably not as good as New York bagels, but the best bagels I’ve had from a supermarket in the UK are New York brand bagels

There are other cities where a decent bagel could be found- but NY has a loch on them!

Penn Badgley is that you?

I lived in NYC for 5-years and never bought a bagel once. I guess I must have missed out. lol

They came from Poland. The originals were sandwiches with meat and pickles.

I like these videos. You should kidnap Ben Wasthisname and take his spot on Cash Cab.

This guy talks about bagels non-stop.

Unions and corruption goes together like peanut butter and jelly

It's in the wuatah!!!

I too would let out a heavy sigh if, when talking about favorite toppings, someone said “tofu cream cheese”.

❤🎉❤

🤗

Zaros is very good?

Still cant find a reason to like bagel…

But Tom .. no Essa Bagel?

It's still cold in NYC? It's like 90 here in FL

New subscriber love ❤️ a nyc 🥯

I used to eat Sesame bagels. Then I developed an allergy to the sesame seeds.

Number one top neighbourhood in the world was Collingwood smith st in Melbourne… my hood ❤

you've clearly never had a Montreal Bagel...best in the world.

Don't listen to Eric, Tom. HeadLox 'n' Spread is my new favorite fake wrestling duo.

Can we get Eric a mic?

How do I book a tour with you?! 🤩

MTL bagel

How much do I need to donate so that Tom gets some better conditioner for his Gen X hair?

is that really a Pizza school behind you? like a place that teaches pizza?

Sorry Tom, Rent never goes down, only up.

*Lox on them

Most food from New York is extremely overrated and you can get equally, if not better versions of it outside of the city, except for bagels and cheesecake! It’s just so much better there
