"Surprisingly, the seed for this review began with the news: New York is running out of cream cheese for their bagels. Not being a bagel eater, I didn 't think to much of it and skimmed the article. But as I was skimming the article, I came upon the word Lox . Curious, I looked up the strange new word and discovered that Lox were lightly brined (sometimes smoked) pieces of salmon served on a bagel with onion, cream cheese, and capers. Now intrigued (and always on the look out for new things), I had to try it. I started my search for bagel shops on Google of course and found several locations with one being literally minutes away, NY Bagel Cafe and Deli. Located in a small shopping center, a bit hidden, the cafe was deceptively bigger than it looked. The interior was wide and open with a New York themed decor. The staff, who were busy behind the counter, were friendly and had my to-go order ready in no time. The bagel itself was wonderful. I 've had bagels with cream cheese before and knew what I was expecting, but the Lox added a subtle savory punch. The Lox had a fresh taste and silky texture further reinforced by the cream cheese. Together, both contrasted nicely with the robust and crunchy bagel. Really, a wonderful combination. Check this place out."
