Master Critic Review

Go Bagels 7.8
Upper East Side-Carnegie Hill
Go Bagels is a compact, modern bagel shop on Lexington that leans into specialty lox sandwiches, breakfast bagels, and coffee for commuters. Portions are hearty and skew more toward build-your-own combos than simple grab-and-go rolls.
Must-Try Dishes: Classic Lox Special, Manhattan Lox Special, Egg and cheese bagel sandwich

What makes it special: Small shop focused on hefty lox sandwiches and breakfast bagels.
Who should go: Commuters wanting a stacked lox or egg sandwich to-go.
When to visit: Morning rush or early lunch when the griddle is most active.
