Recently, much to the dismay of local bagel lovers, Artz Bagels suddenly shuttered. But have no fear bagel purists, we have a solution.
This week NolaVie and My House NOLA sat down with Laura Sugerman, the creator and owner of Sugerman’s Bagels — a small batch traditional NY-style bagel business operated out of a community commercial business in the Bywater.
Sugerman’s bagels are sold whole-sale — meaning you can certainly order them, but you can’t get them delivered with delivered with all the bagel shebang: lox, cream cheese, lox, scallions, hard-boiled egg, oh, and did we mention lox? We all know it: lox are the Adonis of bagel toppers.
Laura Sugerman doesn’t want you to short-change her bagels, so she gave us her home-prepared recipe for cured salmon.
