I would take a frozen/thawed bagel from NYC rather than a fresh, locally sourced one in Phoenix. Bagels are a whole different animal in the Big Apple. I miss them. Not that the Skyclub ones were amazing by any means but it is still better out there.

And no one has even mentioned the uniquely Montreal bagels. DGS Delicatessen in Dupont Circle in DC used to serve them, but has closed.

Bread in general is just a sad story in much of the country when it comes to serving large numbers of people. There are fantastic bakeries in most cities but you won't find their products in anything that is cafeteria like. It is one of the things I most look forward to in Europe--that even a budget hotel will have great bread at breakfast.

Good point but Grocery stores seem to be able to sell good self-serve bagels throughout the country. The ones that were served in SAN yesterday were shriveled and stale - a much better bagel could be had at most grocery stores. I am not saying they should all be 5 star quality but at least grocery store quality.... our favorite bagels come from stop and shop lol
Probably locally sourced.
One of my cousins owned and operated the bagel shop in the Marche de l'Ouest food market for many years and I think that I know bagels.

My favorite ones are the clubs that seem to serve Lender's Bagels. They're my favorite brand - perfect with cream cheese or slightly warmed with a little butter! ��
