Help me find some family owned bagel shops?
I am in need of some help... There was a very old post from 2007 about finding bagels and nothing new since then. Do you know of a great family owned bagel shop in the area that you love? A place that is open in the AM and serves fresh bagels? Thanks for any help!

Tartine has awesome bagels and the chef/owner makes them fresh every morning. They are definetly the best in town!

If you want authentic NYC bagels that aren't imported from H&H (which never were my favorites, anyway) you're going to want to order directly from Sugerman's Bagels. She works out of the Delicious kitchen and makes perfect crunchy/dense/chewy, fit-in-your-hand bagels. Order a dozen and freeze 'em for later. You won't regret it.

I have tried Laurel St. & Cake Cafe. both tasete like bread in the shape of a bagel, not a real bagel.
Martins and Stein's both sell H&H bagels.
Tower in Metairie is pretty good pizza. If you happen to be looking on a Sunday night, Pizza Delicious is by far the closest thing to real NY pizza to be found in NOLA

Sigh.

re: NYNO
Good bagels are hard to find in New Orleans. For good NY style pizza, try Lazaro's in Mid-City. It's somewhat grubby and the service can be spotty (delivery can be slow, and even when you pick up, your order often might not be ready when they said it would be), but it's tasty pizza. It's attached to the Banks St. Bar.

And even Stein's doesn't have an Italian hoagie authentic enough for me. I don't think it's fair to hold the pizzerias and bagelries here to New York standards, just as I don't think it would be fair to hold a place in New York to the same standards I have here for red beans. You might just have to lower your standards a little. :)

re: midcity
Exactly, cause I could go on and on about how I can't find a roast beef poboy up here, or properly boiled crawfish or decent red beans, or a muff or a snowball.. or.... or....... etc, etc.
And I must say that I am not that impressed with the pizza up here (now that may be as I didn't really eat it growing up like most from NY/NJ), but I do love a bagel now. -
re: midcity
Absolutely. My standards were re-calibrated long before I even moved ;)
Interestingly, people just dont get it when I tell them I can get better pho here than I can anywhere in NYC. If the Vietnamese population were large enough in NY, there would be more than one place with adequate broth.
The same principle applies.
I ate a lot of pizza and bagels (and pastrami, and corned beef!) growing up and miss them more than I thought I would.

I miss hoagies. Stein's would be all right if they got hoagie peppers, I think. I brought some sandwich oil and peppers back from home with me a few months ago but haven't tried them on a storebought sandwich yet.
It's funny how people in NY can't believe that there is better food to be had in other places, depending on the cuisine.

Sugerman's Bagels! It just opened and certainly fills a necessary niche. Really authentic homemade NY bagels right here in New Orleans! Who would've thought. It's not a shop, though. You have to order a dozen bagels in advance to pick up in the bywater or can buy individually at Hollygrove market. Highly recommended!

Creole Bagelry in Slidell. It's worth the drive! Great homemade bagels and flavored cream cheeses, plus they have breakfast sandwiches and deli style sandwiches at lunch.
Surrey's La Playa (and the original Surrey's on Magazine) has great homemade bagels too.
