WHAT CUSTOMERS SAY ABOUT 2ND AVENUE
I'm a Cooper Union student and this is my daily breakfast. The Weezer sandwich is insane — bacon, chorizo, egg, cheddar. Fuels me through studio all day.
Best bagels near NYU campus. I walk here from my dorm every morning. The everything bagel is perfectly chewy and the cream cheese selection is huge.
The Sullivan sandwich is a work of art. Scottish double-smoked salmon on an oat crusted multigrain — you won't find this quality anywhere else nearby.
Moved to 2nd Ave last year and this place is a godsend. Real NYC bagels, not the mass-produced stuff. El Chapo is my go-to — braised pork is incredible.
Great spot for a quick breakfast before work. Line can be long on weekday mornings but it moves fast. The cold brew is strong and smooth.
