Kossar's Bialys

Bialys — a flat round roll with onions chopped up in the center — are a NY tradition. Kossar’s is the ultimate place to score some. The shop opened in 1936, and still uses the same original recipe . Read more

Bialys are great but the babka ....OMG. Do not leave without one of these babies. Seriously. Do yourself a favor and get both. (They freeze well too ????)

The classic sandwich is fantastic. Lox , tomato , red onion , capers and EVERYTHING CREAM CHEESE.

Best Bialys ! Back in the day there use to be a movie theatre there!! You could have a bialy then a movie ! Back then it was Gus Pickles and the famous Bialys place...still stands today!

If you're going down the bagel route, go for "the classic" and get it on a plain bagel , since it comes with everything cream cheese .

On the weekends, be sure to press the handle and take a number - they'll call them out and flash on a sign just like at Russ & Daughters. During the week, no numbers necessary, just line up.

This has been a staple of mine forever. Glad to see they are continuing the tradition. Mimi Sheraton has always loved bialys and I learned what I know from her. Kossar's is best! Read more

An institution. My favorite is the Kossar’s classic with scallion cream cheese on everything bagel/bialy.

Even in the late afternoon, there were plenty of bagels and bialys and drinks to choose from... any of the bialys are well worth the trip!!!

The best Bialy . New owners modernized the operation and added new products. Still my favorite.

You can't go wrong with a bialy—a pillowy round thing that looks a little bit like a bagel but will SURPRISE YOU when you bite into it and are overcome by the taste of onion . Read more

Onion disc (traditionally called pletzel ) is the BEST item. Perfect chewy texture & the right amount of onion/poppy seeds. Come on SATURDAY NIGHT until about 2:00 am, for everything HOT out of oven

Its been all prettied up. The babka is really good, the bialys and onion pletzel aren't what they used to be

Amazing bialys and great lox ! Cool guys and they do some fancy bialy specials with local chefs

The garlic bialys aren't bad, the onion bialys are great, and the bagels are enough to make a man weep with joy that malty bagels survived the catastrophe of the 20th century.

Great place to pick up a bagel or biayl esp after the remodel.

Excellent bagels that are flavorful and relatively light

The new and improved Kossar's now includes bagels and baked goods ! Try a bialy !

This place has always been fantastic, but it's great to finally get toppings on the bialys in-store!

Forget the bialys , they have BABKA FRENCH TOAST

An underrated NY institution. Both bagels and bialys are great

Absolutely love it, good coffee and the fresh bagels and bialys are nice

You have your bagels , and then your bialys . They're both delicious and classically New York! Enjoy with your favorite shmear!

Favorite for an onion bialy with everything cream cheese .

get the classic. fantastic lox

Best bagels and bialys in the neighborhood . Great prices!

Great bagels and bialys ! Big bacon , egg , and cheese sandwiches .

Super nice person gave me bialy to taste. And it was really good.

Try the garlic bialy . Challah seeded bagel is delicious. Follow it up with a doughnut next door.

Some of the city 's best bialys at this old school Jewish bakery .

Really good bialys , and they whip their own cream cheese .

the "pumpernickel everything" just won me over. best in nyc, probably anywhere.

Great bagel experience. Try everything cream cheese .

Whole wheat everything bagel is my number one choice these days.

Get a bialy or two. Then get a bagel or two.

Their Salmon bagels (fish or cream) are very good

Bagel and Tofu Cream cheese is awesome for vegans

The everything bagels are really good! Nowhere to sit though.

Famous for their bialys , authentic jewish bakery that's been around forever

Onion bialy with scallion cream cheese is everything

Make sure to pick up some lox and salmon to go with these treats...

The best bagels I've had in NYC.

If you or someone you know has a rare and unfortunate onion allergy, be sure to ask about which bialys have onions before trying. #wtfonions
