Today is a day of celebration for many across the tristate—it's National Bagel Day! Here are some fun facts about our favorite way to start the day: The bagel was first introduced to the U.S. by Polish-Jewish immigrants. The International Bagel Bakers' Union was then established in 1907. Until the 1960s, bakeries made bagels by hand before the invention of the bagel maker. We invite you to share your thoughts, photos, and videos on where you grab your bagels and which kind is your favorite!
