The hardest workers at Bagel Broker aren't allowed a lunch break or time to sleep—they bake bagels continuously throughout the day. However, being ovens, they don't seem to mind the labor. Instead, they steadfastly supply the shop with 18 varieties of bagels, from plain to pumpernickel to the popular cheese-onion, which satisfies even New York natives, according to Epicurious.

The Tarnol family father-and-son team—owners of the shop for 30 years—steers clear of added fats, preservatives, and oils when creating their signature doughy rings. The shop also compiles catering platters for group functions, such as corporate events.
