Bagels Description
Zucker's Bagel & Smoked FishOwner Matt Pomerantz, who was born and raised in NYC and worked on Wall Street, open Zucker's in 1994 and named it after his mother, Roslyn Marilyn Zucker Pomerantz. Like all the good ones, Zucker's hand rolls and kettle boils their bagels. They offer a variety of smoked fish but also nail the classic cream cheese spreads. Zucker's is a nice standard as to what to expect when you eat a New York City bagel. One thing worth noting is that Yelp gives Zucker's mediocre reviews. Pomerantz's other bagel company, Murray's Bagels (named after his father), is a local favorite in the Chelsea area so don't let the amount of stars fool you.
