A Brief History of The Bagel in America

Bagels are theorized to have begun their journey as descendants of German pretzels.(Another favorite food of mine!)

Regardless of their origin, the bagel arrived in the United States thanks to Jewish immigrants from Poland in the late 19th century. (And Trump hates immigrants why!?)

But long before hipsters took over and started loading them up with Avocado, bagels were first sold in New York’s Lower East Side… Stacked on poles or hung from string, hence the holes!

The rest is (as they say) history:

The bagel-craze has been a rolling snowball ever since. As Jewish families immigrated further west, bagel’s popularity only spread further along with them.

Thankfully, cream cheese was invented in the 1930s (and vegan cream cheese in the 2000s).

Finally: bagels would never be the same!
