Once you’ve located a natural bagel spring it’s expected that others will tap in to it

Bagel wars. One owner initiated it when they slapped the other with a spread of cream cheese.

One of the VERY few nice things I will say about Staten Island is that they easily make the best bagels in NYC and I mean that.

Doesn't seem like the one on the right makes its own bagels.

Maybe the one on the left does? But I'm not sure unless I can see inside photos.

In case you’re wondering why there are 2 utility poles so close to each other in the photo, this is a phenomenon known as “twinning”. When a bad driver severely hurts a utility pole, a new one sprouts next to it because funeral costs for the old one are too expensive.
