New Yorkers are proud to be the kings and queens of bagels and pizza. As a New Englander, I must say that they are.

From the few experiences I have had, every bagel or pizza from NY is guaranteed delicious, fresh, and better than in New England.

Well, the best of the best, the winner of Brooklyn, NY, Bagelfest, is opening up in New England in January 2025.

PopUp Bagels won Brooklyn Bagelfest "Best Bagel" two years in a row, according to their website.

With numerous locations in New York and Connecticut, they have recently expanded into Massachusetts.

And it's worth noting these bagels look gourmet, freshly made, and come paired with unique flavored cream cheese. Like the peppermint fudge cream cheese, you can see here.

Or this pink spicy vodka schmear...I don't even know what that is, but I would love a sesame bagel with some of that.

There is currently a brand new location in Wellesley, Massachusettts, with one more location coming in 2025...

The newest bagel craze will be opening a location in the Seaport district in Boston in January, according to a Boston Uncovered article.
