What to Order
Everything Bagel with House Schmear
A kettle‑boiled, hand‑rolled everything bagel toasted to order and slathered with a tangy, herb-studded house cream cheese.
Hot Pastrami on Rye
Thick-cut, peppery pastrami piled high on toasted rye with mustard for a messy, soulful deli classic.
Smoked Salmon Board
Silky, thin-sliced smoked salmon served with capers, red onion, lemon and a choice of bagel — crisp edges, tender crumb.
