The secret to bagels is the water. There are stories abroad about a 
baker outside of New York City who paid a chemist to duplicate New York 
City water so that the bagels would taste like those made in NYC.

Years ago a fellow opened a bagel bakery in Atlantic City thinking he'd 
get the early morning gambling traffic on their way home. He didn't do 
very well until he started having tanker-loads of water delivered from
NYC.

We have traveled all over North America (we lived in an RV for 9 years 
and were truly "wandering Jews") and there is no where other than New 
York City, not even New Jersey, where one can purchase a great bagel.

Don't get me started on bread and pizza :-)
