Salads, soups, wraps and, naturally, bagels at this village staple.
You could stand on a corner and look around until a restaurant sign draws you in. But we've got a better idea. Each week, Garden City Patch picks a great restaurant either in town or nearby that is worth checking out. Here’s this week’s choice:
Bagelman: You know about the bagels, which at 75 cents apiece is one of the best bargains in town. However, Bagelman on Seventh Street is much more than bagels and breakfast as its regulars know all-too-well.
Open until 5 p.m. weekdays, Bagelman owner Ken Mataix has embraced the lunchtime market. Sixteen lunch specialties are featured, including $5.99 favorites like Bagelman’s Reuben, Lean Delight (honey maple turkey, alpine lace swiss, lettuce, tomato and Italian dressing); and the Birdie (chicken salad, bacon, melted Swiss on a roll).
