Dizzy Izzy's New York Bagels, 185 Varick St., Manhattan

Somehow Pat, who loves a New York bagel, had been here for almost 3 months without sinking his teeth into one. So we moseyed down to Dizzy Izzy's in Battery Park City on Sunday and each of us enjoyed a toasted sesame seed bagel, mine with salmon spread and Pat's with regular cream cheese. We were very pleased. Pat was overwhelmed by the quantity of cream cheese, but I say bring it on, bagel babies.
