Go-to bagel spot in the neighborhood. Some people might tell you to go to Murray's instead, but they don't toast their bagels, which is whack, and so BB&C wins.

This is for the takeout section of the restaurant; it's my favorite sandwich spot in NYC. Grab one (I recommend the #15) and eat it on the Highline directly across the street.

My favorite brunch in Manhattan (in Brooklyn it's Five Leaves). Get the egg sandwich with ham, gruyere and caramelized onions, and sides of bacon and sweet potato hash-browns. Mind blowing.
