Everything Bagels

I've lived in St. Pete for almost nine months. (I know, WHAA??) It's a pretty great place to live, mainly because St. Pete does three things really well - beers, burgers and beaches.

Much to my dismay on many a Sunday morning, "bagels" is not one of those Bs.

You know the feeling - perhaps you partook in one - or all three - of the aforementioned Bs on Saturday. You wake up on Sunday morning dehydrated. Maybe you discover that sneaky sunburn on that place you alway miss with sunscreen right by your armpit. You go to make coffee and realize that you've never wanted anything more than a bagel AT THIS INSTANT.

If you live in New York - kudos. Walk downstairs and be greeted with a crusty, chewy ring of yeasty bread and creamy cheese. Enjoy your day. 

In St. Pete, you can drive 50 blocks to stand in a line that goes on forever just to get yelled at by an Eastern European woman. Or you can drive 70 blocks and get a passable bagel at Einstein. These are your options for bagels when you live in downtown St. Pete.
