Ess-a-Bagel

Ess-a-Bagel is a bagel shop on First Avenue in New York that serves large bagel sandwiches filled with salmon and cream cheese. The signature combination tops an everything bagel with Nova Scotia salmon, and the cream cheese portions are generous. Before 8 a.m. orders can be eaten right away, and even with a line the order is finished in about 10 minutes. There is seating inside, and the everything bagel and smoked salmon are salty.
