You planned your workout on a Saturday morning, so you can stop by El Bagel after. The earlier you pass by the gym, the better, for El Bagel. They open at 8 AM and close at 2 PM, however, they often sell out of bagels! You can pre-order for pick-up to avoid waiting in line. You’re either taking the bagels home or if the weather permits, eating them on the outdoor deck (they have seating in the front and also in the back). If you want to keep it simple, go for their salt bagel with scallion cream cheese (vegan option available). Other amazing sandwich orders include the Lox Supreme with locally-smoked lox, English cucumber, dill, pickled onion, tomato, capers, and cream cheese; and the open-face Midday Snack with chives, red onion, and Lox cream cheese. Make sure to add smoked trout roe as an upgrade. Sometimes they have bagel specials, like the Garlique, which sounds divine. El Bagel is also a great spot to pick up before heading to work or for pick up before heading back to bed. They are open 8 AM – 2 PM every day except Tuesday.
