The New York Bagel and Bialy Company in Skokie is one of those places we drive by when it’s not “bialy time”. On the way home from eating elsewhere. Late afternoon when we’re thinking dinner, not bialy. When we don’t really have time to stop. Or, sometimes the parking lot has just been jam packed full and I don’t want to deal with not having a parking place.
Yesterday, between dropping of the Prince and Liz, I decided we’d give it a try. Plenty of parking, yay! Liz said “what’s a bialy?” which scared me because her mother is nuts for bialys (and it’s darn difficult to find them in Florida.)
I zeroed in very quickly on the cheese stuffed bialy. TW ordered an onion bialy. Liz, ever cautious, ordered the traditional chocolate muffin.
Yum, yum, and also yum.
Actually, Liz said the muffin was much the same as the one at Breadsmith but this one was better because it was bigger. (I also think it may have been a wee bit cheaper.)
And now that I’ve typed this, I feel a craving for a cheese stuffed bialy coming on.
