Probably the only food item that has been to space are BAGELS. And this isn't an exaggeration but a solid fact. It has been told, in golden words... that in 2008 Astronaut Gregory Camitoff took 18 sesame bagels from a bakery in Montreal, Canada in one of his space missions and with what we've read, he looked quite happy & well-fed.

If classic beats the new; then The Nutcracker has the best bagel for you. Why... you ask?

If you keep savoury before sweetness, Ellipsis Bakery has the best kind of bagel for you; The Classic Cream Cheese Bagel. For a place where baking is extensive and food is delightful, doubting something as rightful as bagel wouldn't be fair. So, leave everything or take everything with you (totally your call) and head to this very American-touch bakery in Worli for a bagel you might never forget.

Among millions of bread and a very limited menu rests Authentic New York-style Bagels that comes in either sesame or multigrain toppings. They sell cheese separately so you can either devour the cheese infested one or just go home and fill it with some jam, peanut butter and Nutella...or may go simpler. Because even when it's unelaborate the taste is soul-filling.
