Get Your Bagel Fix at Pair of New Shops in Area, Quality Rivals East Coast

Bagels have been a constant at shops like New York Bagel and Bialy in Lincolnwood, or N-Y-C Bagel Deli and Steingold’s in the city, but every now and then, another bagel maker comes onto the scene. I found two new shops worth a shmear: one in Oak Park, the other in Gold Coast (based on a popular brand from Madison, WI, run by a former New Yorker).
