Though bagels can be purchased in Central Florida, they are not New York bagels by any stretch. A friend and I were amused by the comment of a waitress in a chain eatery (it was more convenient that one of our "okay" bagel shops which at least have varieties like poppy, sesame, salt, etc.) Asked if they had bagels, she said yes, but only "plain" ones: "We don't have flavored bagels." "Flavored?" --JM
I second Maltz's opinion that the Fox and Obel bagel is pretty good.
