Where's the best bagel in NY?

Hi there!
I live in Brazil, but we'll be vacationing in NY next month and need some bagel advice. Can anyone help me?
Thanks!

Best Bagels on Middle Neck Road in Great Neck. Their sunflower flats (flat bagels - very crispy) are the best!

I second homesicktexan on Murray's. Even the multi-grain bagels taste great. And their tuna salad is best around.

Question of the Day: Other people say it's 'gross,' but you love it. What is it?

Ok, mine isn't as gross as others, but peant butter with american cheese sandwich mmmm... and the combination of veggie pizza with a lot of OJ (that was before I got heartburn) *sigh*

On Survivor a few seasons back, one of the challenges involved eating large amounts of Balut. Not to be one of "those people" but they look so gross! what do they taste like? are there feathers and bones involved?

Femmebot: I asolutely adore balut. Growing up in Jersey City, NJ, it was a great midnight snack with a bowl of rice, eaten kamayan (with your hands.)
Wow! You ARE a serious eater! I like balut too -- just without the fetal chick. I also like the red salted pickled eggs. Yum!

sweetbreads, stovetop-brand stuffing, and canned peas! (though, thankfully, not all at once!)

Stuffed pig trotters are quite a treat, and I'll eat them whenever I see them on a menu. I also adore ama ebi (sweet raw shrimp and a deep-fried fish head, crispy and creamy) and salt-and-pepper prawns. Tripe, sweetbreads, kidneys (steak and kidney pie), and foie are all good, as is any form of raw fish.

My father lives to hunt. Instead of chicken, pork, and beef in the deep-freeze, my family was well stocked with game—pheasant, duck, elk, deer, grouse, quail, and mourning doves (there is exactly one bite of meat on each side of the breastbone).

And one of my favorite sandwiches: salami, cheddar, and raspberry jelly.
