Kismet is so expensive I can barely wrap my head around their absurd prices. Philly Style is also overpriced, and their bagels are tiny. That one joint in south Philly simply can’t be good enough for the lines I see. Hot bagels is hot garbage. Spread is a shitshow every time, and their staff are rude and utterly incompetent. Let’s just stop with this shit and go back to perfectly ok, cheap bagel spots, and stop lining up down the block for just some bagels.
Edit: I should have clarified, I am very happy with my current bagel life, though your helpful suggestions are thoughtful. I simply am commenting on the state of bagel hype around certain places, and am stating my belief that we as a city are rewarding people for products that don’t deserve the praise heaped upon them.
Edit 2: I didn’t mean to sound ungrateful. I love this discourse.
