The Green Line makes killer bagels, and I'm from New York City! I particularly like the whole grain bagel.
Speaking of New York City ..... when I was a starving dirty hippie in the East Village (summer of 69) we used to patronize this Polish bakery on 14th St between Avenues A and B. They sold bagels, bialys and bulkas, and other wonderful yeasty products for a dime or a quarter. Not only that, but the aroma of their amazing bagel factory drifted down through the neighborhood. I remember sitting on the fire escape, sniffing the aroma, munching on a bulka, and throwing stones at the rats on the warehouse roof down below. (This of course was long before Dr. Jacobson was even born.) For more substantial fare we would truck down to Katz's on Houston Street where a knish (mustard included) retailed for forty cents. And if you had eighty cents you could go for a fat greasy kielbasa. Katz's had signs saying "Send a salami to your boy in the army". Ah sweet memories..... - Ross Bender http://rossbender.org/amos.html sj
