The Bagel Basket, 618 Amsterdam Ave., Manhattan

I was on the Upper West Side yesterday for a haircut, for which I had a Groupon. It was at a salon called Bodre. Don't go there. Enough said. Happily, a haircut is not forever.

The Bagel Basket was not my intended bagel destination after that; I had been heading for Barney Greengrass, recommended by NFT. Alas, Barney Greengrass was closed. So I found myself at the Bagel Basket, a couple blocks north. It was not so great. The bagel was ordinary, and the salmon & scallion cream cheese had too-big chunks of salmon and scallions. I will say that the woman who served me was very nice, and you don't see that very often, so bonus points are due.
