Flagel = Flat Bagel
In Scottsdale, Arizona there is a great bagel shop called Lox, Stock and Bagel. They have a similar bagel to your Flagel, they call it a Bially. I like them much better than regular bagels
Flagel = Flat Bagel
I was taking a weekend in Bucks County Pa. When I stumbled upon a Deli named Bagel Junction in Newtown. Their Flagels and traditional Bagels are as good as any in NYC .The lines to the front door were there for a reason and their prices were a relief compared to NY. This place is like home away from home. If your craving NY food this is the place!

I had my first flagel about a year ago.... Bagel Boys in Monroe New york. everything toasted flagel with cream cheese chives and bacon.... delicious... not too many peopple have heard of them but everyone that I have turned onto them becomes addicted... even the little 90 year old lady I shop for..

Have been loving flagels since 2002! They have it at the Cafe Metro on 48th and 6th Ave of all places. Not sure if other Cafe Metros carry my little breakfast heaven. I like the more crust and the more surface area for spread/filling of a flagel. Definitely better toasted.

i live in texas and i get my bagels and bialys imported from NY/NJ, from my folks because i believe that's the only place to get good ones.
i may be a bagel snob in saying this, but i refuse to buy them down here because they are far inferior in texas or anywhere else, to what you can get up in the NY/NJ area.

@jeninewsbite: We might know people in common, depending on how long you've been at the CRFA. Also, I was a temp there for three days a little over two years ago.
..and yeah, what Jen said about finding flagels in our neighbourhood. When Serious Eats tweeted an inquiry about where to find flagels outside NYC I tossed that fact their way.
I prefer bagels- but not at Bagel World, unless they're twisters. The last time I bought bagels at BW they tasted like they the ones that are manufactured in a factory and sold in bags at the supermarket.

Flats are regular bagels that have been flattened out, and are generally more expensive because of the extra labor. They're crunchier and have more texture- Best Bagels in Great Neck have the best flats (nobody calls them flagels here), expecially the sunflower one. Highly recommended!

I thought it was just another name for a pletzl, but that one looks like it's halfway between a bagel and a pletzl.
Incidentally, since Ms. Brown mentions southern Palm Beach County, Florida, a few miles up the road in West Boynton "Bagels &..." does a respectable pletzl.

Terrace Bagels in Windsor Terrace (224 Prospect Park West, Brooklyn) has flagels. They call them flats. I've tried them and I do like the additional surface area--more space for my lox spread--but I generally go for a regular bagel.

Okay, as with the bialy/bagel comments...pletzels are great but they're not a flagel. I'm from Long Island, NY and the flagels are quite popular. I think they make for a more-accessible bagel sandwich (not as tall which often leads to squished out inside when one takes a bite). My favorite place, Gabby's Bagels in Syosset, NY, makes the best lox spread (chunks of lox and capers rather than the salty pink spread you find elsewhere) and got me hooked on flagels simply as they allow for more bites of that delicious combo of bagel and lox spread.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
For over 30 years, a flat bagel, with topping or without, has been known as a pletzel - at least in Cleveland.
You can get them small, you can get them, large. They are WONDERFUL. But new, they are not!
Flagel = Flat Bagel
A flagel's reason for existence is simple - to provide more crust! It has exactly the same calorie/carb content as a regular bagel so I'm not sure if I believe the story about it being born from the low carb craze.
Hate the name but I love the concept - nothing better than a fresh, flat, sesame bagel with cream cheese!
(PS - The difference between a bagel and bialy is not just that one is boiled and one is not...I believe that they use different flours.)

The new location of Bagel World in Toronto sells flagels.

I feel like this must have started out, like most things, as an accident.

@brkbrdy: It's true, a bialy is a totally different and wonderful thing and not a bagel. For one, bialys are not boiled.
@greyrussian: ESNY1077 describes what a flagel tastes like. More crust, less innards. I think they're better for sandwich making, worse for soaking up runny eggs.

I absolutely love flagels. A bagel place in Queens called Hot Bialys has great ones but I've rarely come across one I don't like.
I prefer the crunchy outside of a bagel to the chewy inside so it's perfect for me.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
Bagelry on 30th and 3rd used to have flagels too. They reopened under some other name but I haven't been since. I'm also fairly certain I've had them growing up in Jersey along with bagel stix.
They pretty much taste like a bagel with the inside scooped out, more chewy crust. Greyrussian, i'd expect you'd want more bagel innards to absorb the runny eggs rather than a higher ratio of crust to innards.
Flagel = Flat Bagel
why can't a bagel just be a bagel?
Flagel = Flat Bagel
So...? What does it taste like? Is is crunchy in the middle? Dry? I'm assuming the flavors are the same, but texture? Do you think it would make a better or worse sandwich bread? Better for soaking up runny eggs maybe?

Uh, A bialy is a bialy, not a flat bagel.
