DVlicious Bagel Contest Includes Danbury's Bagelman As Top Contender

BROOKFIELD/DANBURY, Conn. -- It’s impossible to live here and not have a bagel opinion. The New York area, as everyone knows, is the bagel capital of the world. And yes, it’s worth waiting in line on a Sunday morning to get one of these doughy wonders fresh out of the oven. Toasting, as a bagel purist knows, is not necessary when you buy the very best.

Grab your bagel with one of the many cream cheese options: plain, vegetable, scallion, olive, bacon bit, strawberry or walnut and raisin. Or get it with lox, peanut butter and jelly or butter, or make a sandwich on your bagel.
