Tonight, we'll see and hear firsthand this kind of sound
-
Hey guys, salut. It's Alex. It's 6 a.m. here in New York.
-
This is day two of the New York flog and we are gonna
-
go get some good bagels. So let me share with you the plan for this morning.
-
So basically we are downtown... so around here... and
-
I want to go in the upper east side, if I'm not mistaken. I AM mistaken, upper West
-
side to a place called Absolute Bagels.
-
Absolute Bagels, it's supposed to be the bomb when it comes to bagel, and also it's not far away from Central Park,
-
so I thought maybe we can go. We get some bagels. We go to Central Park.
-
We might be just a tiny bit late for the sunrise, but we get the morning vibes, okay?
-
Let's go
-
Wow, nothing makes me more happy than a blue sky.
-
The place we're going to is supposed to be one of the City's very best bagels.
-
I mean, the best bagel in New York?
-
That's some pressure for sure. I'm really happy to be in New York. That's a good [chair]. I love mornings.
-
I love the evening and the wine and all that stuff, but I think I prefer the mornings. Every morning is like a new promise.
-
It depends what you like, sesame, poppy, everything.
-
Oh even better.
-
Yeah, absolutely.
-
So I just got two bagels at Absolute Bagel. When I arrived like an hour ago
-
only a few people's were waiting,
-
but as soon as I came out the whole place is packed. Like literally, you have to wait one hour to get one bagel.
-
And now I am on my way to Central Park because I believe that great food deserves great places.
-
All right, so I think there's a spot with my name on it.
-
It's gonna be perfect to enjoy
-
those beautiful bagels, and I'm really hungry because I had almost nothing, like a
-
half of a cereal bar this morning.
-
Good.
-
You are gonna sit right there
-
so you can watch big big bagels, big big bagels. There are dogs everywhere. I'm a bit scared with all those bagels.
-
This one's some kind of a weird one but it's a fancy one. It's whole wheat
-
Everything bagel
-
with Blueberry cream cheese.
-
It's good to have a sweet bagel in the morning. I feel like it's easier to wake up. So everything bagel has
-
sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt,
-
but also some garlic flakes.
-
I mean it's good on its own, and it pairs right with the salt, but with the blueberry cream cheese,
-
I'm not sure. No. Doesn't work so much with the blueberry stuff.
-
The best bagel to go with this blueberry cream cheese would have been a cinnamon bagel.
-
Making whole wheat bagels or whole wheat bread is always a bit more
-
technical than making plain bagels or plain bread.
-
The rising time, the proofing time, are not the same and also the dough doesn't react the same.
-
I mean, frequently it's more dense than plain bagels. I can't say this bagel is very fluffy.
-
It's more like.. it's soft, of course.. It's more like dense and chewy.
-
I can feel my teeth biting into it.
-
Next bagel.
-
It's a more classic one. There's nothing on it. It's just a plain bagel with butter.
-
I think it's good to have a
-
reference.
-
Oh, soft.
-
The plain bagels were fresher than the whole-wheat one, so I really expect a lot from this one.
-
Do not disappoint me.
-
Oh, that's better. That's way better.
-
Complete different world. I told you about the difference between whole wheat and plain...
-
There it is.
-
It still is dense and, you know, a bit chewy,
-
but it's not the same.
-
softer
-
fresher
-
lighter
-
This is Superb. This is stunning and the skin is very shiny. How shiny?
-
I'm gonna say something very French, but it reminds me of a fresh baguette in Paris.
-
I can feel the same
-
dedication and the same
-
freshness, I love the slight crisp there is when you bite into the skin, into the crust.
-
Seriously guys. I'm not lying
-
This is genius, and now I can safely say it. You can't find good bagels in Paris.
-
Nope. I've been to many places... you can't find good bagels, like great bagels.
-
mmm Having a fresh bagel in the middle of Central Park on a sunny day. What a nightmare.
-
So I'm gonna say clearly, that plain bagel with butter,
-
out of ten? was a ten, definitely a ten.
-
Come with me.
-
That's the end of a beautiful
-
morning spent in Central Park with those lovely Absolute Bagels.
-

-
immersive experience. I really wanted you to fully enjoy and fully experience what I, what I felt on that
-
particular day. So you know, as much as I love editing like short and punchy stuff,
