Bagel-Making Tour for family of four.

Come tour the bagel bakery at Mark's Off Madison and help make our old-fashioned handmade New York bagels. And take home some of your handiwork! Available only Saturday and Sunday mornings on a mutually-agreed on date. As a Jewish kid growing up in Queens, Mark loved the ritual Sunday trip to the bagel store with his father to get bagels and bialys for their family. He remembers the bagels well. “They were smaller, chewier than the ones you usually get today. My mother never had to scoop out the doughy inside.” They might have remained a memory, but for his kids.“I think my bagel obsession started on the day my son brought home a blueberry bagel with strawberry cream cheese,” he says. “I wanted to see if I could recreate for my children the traditional taste of the bagels and bialys of my youth.” He began making a batch or two at a time, and when he was finally happy with the result he debuted Straussie’s Bagels at Freds at Barneys New York on Sundays. Serious Eats dubbed Straussie's "New York's best bagel." Now, Straussie's comes to M.O.M.
