Can anyone tell me where I can find a good bagel and some good fat deli cream cheese? They don't have to be from the same place. I eagerly await a reply! Sun Dec 02 19:53:16 -0800 2007 77550 travelbuff 1 3174069 oh, it's tough! I will tell you that I found the chopped liver and knishes at Stein's on Mag very good representations of what I remember from home...they supposedly have H&H bagels but I haven't tried yet...I'm visiting them on tues to order for a party and will check for you Sun Dec 02 20:42:11 -0800 2007 3173960 11524 chef4hire 2 3174712 yeah, my first thought was Stein's, too. I know that Martin's Wine Cellar has frozen H&H bagels as well.

Haven't been since before Katrina but it was good then. Mon Dec 03 08:37:18 -0800 2007 3173960 50630 sirvelvet 1 3175021 i'll toss this place out there. never been but have heard good things about it. http://www.koshercajun.com/ Mon Dec 03 08:54:10 -0800 2007 3173960 106108 Shiloh 2 3176535 Pretty good, though no cheese or dairy of course! Martin's Wine has good deli sandwiches though. They use H&H bagels. Mon Dec 03 15:51:45 -0800 2007 3175021 117906 mikek 1 3176452 Stein's, absolutely. They're really from up North (Philly, I think) and they do import not only H&H bagels but a lot of perfectly NE-style Jewish and Italian Deli foods. Their cream cheese is Philadelphia. Mon Dec 03 15:22:32 -0800 2007 3173960 11485 Adrienne 2 3176554 I second (actually fifth) Steins. Really good egg bagels. Better than a lot of North Jersey bagels I've had. With lox and cream cheese, capers and tomato its fantastic. Its 10 bucks, and you get a lot of salmon. Mon Dec 03 15:55:53 -0800 2007 3176452 87807 Kingrover 3 3176663 Damn, I don't know if I can eat a frozen bagel, unless I'm the one who froze it. I think I've eaten H+H and didn't think they were that great. But I will try all of the suggestions (the Kosher place sounds great!) Thanks all. Mon Dec 03 16:34:40 -0800 2007 3176554 77550 travelbuff 4 3176889 I'm not sure what you mean about them being frozen, I assume they import the dough and then bake it off here... anyway this is the menu from Kosher Cajun: http://www.koshercajun.com/menu.pdf which is definitely it's own thing... personally I'm not into non-dairy cream cheese, but obviously if you're actually Kosher it's preferable. Mon Dec 03 17:46:47 -0800 2007 3176663 11485 Adrienne 5 3177206 No, they ship the bagels in frozen. Think Lender's but H&H instead. They actually come out ok if you defrost and toast at home. Mon Dec 03 19:55:10 -0800 2007 3176889 117906 mikek 6 3178553 I have been to Stein's when the Bagels have come out of the oven piping hot. Tue Dec 04 10:16:31 -0800 2007 3177206 19636 Tonto 7 3178716 Thanks for the CQ Tonto..... I have been looking for a substitute since Bayou Bagelry began floating belly-side up. Have not been to Steins - I go across Canal St so rarely that I need need to get a visa when I do. Tue Dec 04 11:02:30 -0800 2007 3178553 52947 JerseyNOLA 7 3179787 Do they make their own or H&H? They import raw H&H bagels? Tue Dec 04 16:05:43 -0800 2007 3178553 117906 mikek 8 3179860 Maybe H&H boils them and sends them and they finish them off by baking them here? This is facinating and whatever it is they're doing, I want to start doing it in my kitchen. Tue Dec 04 16:38:01 -0800 2007 3179787 11485 Adrienne
