Ever wonder what the difference is between a Boston bagel and a New York bagel? Ever go to Boston and wonder “where the heck can I get a decent bagel around here?” Don’t despair, there’s a Boston Bagel FAQ just for you. The executive summary: “Boston bagels are relatively small, roughly donut-sized (but with a smaller hole). New York bagels can be used as spare tires on Geo Metros.” And: “People in California think that Noah’s bagels are wonderful, which is yet more confirmation that all that sunlight and smog turns your brains into bean dip.” Bean dip? In my own head? Pass the chips! (And where does one go for a decent Boston Cream pie in CA?)
