Baz Bagels

SoHo & Chinatown


A shamelessly flamboyant combo of pink, palm prints and Dolly and Barbra portraits, New York's campest diner keeps things fabulous with its hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels. Star of the show is the Mooch ($16), a scrumptious concoction that's half Scottish salmon and half cold-smoked sable. Bagels aside, other standouts include blintzes and latkes, the latter made to the owner's grandmother's recipe.
