Bagel Cafe

Breakfast in Midtown for under $5 is quite a draw, especially when it involves a freshly baked bagel, two eggs any style and ham, bacon or sausage. Bagel Cafe, formerly known as Bagelry, is clean and simple, brightly lit with a jumble of tables. Bagels are on sale for half-price from 5pm to 6pm every day, including the crusty flat bagels, disk-shaped to create the illusion of eating fewer carbs. Spreads run the gamut from lox cream cheese and peanut butter and jelly to tofu and sun-dried tomato. Lunch includes simple sandwiches made with Boar's Head cold cuts, tuna salad, chicken salad and more, and all are under $8.
