While the name New York Bagel doesn’t feel very local, this family-owned bagel shop has been around for more than 100 years and is a staple in Metro Detroit. When immigrant Morris Goldsmith took over an existing bagel shop, he named it New York Bagel as a nod to where the bagel was first introduced to the United States. Their bagels are freshly made and come in a variety of flavors as well as bagel sticks and twists.
