Re: Donut or bagel?
Bagel with Philly. No Philly - either forget the bagel or find a shop that knows what a "schmear" is.

Yup! Bagel with cream cheese and whatever else you would like in it, i usually get the bagels made with raisins in it, with smoked salmon and a dab of cream cheese.
I seldomly have it at home, whenever i do i substitute Brie for the cream cheese.
Back in the early 80's, when i worked at Rubenstein Bros on St Charles, i frequented a little hole in the wall deli on Magazine street, i have never seen such a variety of bagels since.
I sometimes often wonder if that place still exists.
