I hate to spoil the mood here but my opinion is "meh." As someone who has, over 30 years, eaten about ten thousand bagels from New York and northern New Jersey (even better nowadays) I can assure you that Schlomo's are pretty far off the mark. They are certainly not "authentic New York style" except in the sense that you can probably find fluffy white bread donuts somewhere in NYC, too. Maybe they're sold there as "authentic Berlin style." Another problem: way too stingy with the cream cheese and lox. Up your game, Schlomo.
Pictured below for reference: New Jersey bagels. Similar visually to Schlomo's, but eating them is a completely different experience.
Thanks for responding, Schlomo. In Manhattan I recommend Absolute Bagels on the Upper West Side, which are excellent. But don't miss Perrys Bagel Cafe in Paramus, New Jersey. Perry's bagels are insanely good.
