You can lead a horse to water but you can't make it drink if that water is being used to boil bagels, since horses are allergic to bagels. Keep equines away by noshing on dough circles with today's Groupon: for $6, you get $12 worth of bagels, coffee, sandwiches, and more at Regal Bagel.

Regal Bagel's bakers churn out bushels of fresh bagels every morning and serve them throughout the day with a variety of toppings. Regal Bagel's rings of dough are laboriously boiled and toasted, and come in more than 20 flavors, including pumpernickel, blueberry, cinnamon sugar, garlic, and determination ($.90+ for one, $4.75 for six, $8.25 for a dozen). While tasty enough to be eaten unadulterated, bagels can be augmented with a selection of 11 cream cheeses, such as tomato basil, strawberry, and jalapeño. Those who wish to venture further into the depths of bagel alteration can order one of the deli sandwiches, which combine disparate elements such as mayo, tomatoes, and tuna, turkey, or roast beef, and can be paired with a hot or iced coffee or tea ($5.25+).
