New Yorkers perhaps you do have the best bagels, I don't know. But you do not have the best manners If you don't like them, you don't like them. I get why people don't. They are bland but can also be oddly overwhelming. I just have a fondness for them because every weekend my mom would get cannoli and other pastries from an Italian bakery nearby (they had a nice platter of mini-pastries, and you would get mini-cannoli, miniature carrot cake, mini-ricotta pie, mini-rainbow cookies, S cookies, etc), and I just remember eating those with coffee.</blockquote>
