It's the little things....

So Diesel no longer toasts bagels anymore :( and I'm just not crazy about untoasted bagels for some reason. Is there another place in the square (besides Dunkin Donuts) to get a bagel fix first thing in the morning?

They are often hot from the often? How many hours a day? (I'm asking seriously here. I've never known of any place in the Boston area where you could reliably get still-warm bagels anytime past crazy-early.)


(Also, speaking as a Broolyn-born and -bred Jewish bagel snob, I enjoy toasted bagels.)

You can reliably get still-warm bagels at Kupel's in Brookline, if you call a few days ahead of time and ask them to make you a batch to be picked up at your specified day/time. Of course, there's a four-dozen minimum, but in my family, four dozen is less than a week's supply.

Even putting aside the fact that I'd end up with Kupel's bagels, calling a week ahead to pick up four dozen bagels at a specific day/time is so far outside the realm of what I meant that I don't even know where to begin. :)

haha...okay I'll admit I was extemporizing a bit, but we love Kupel's bagels, on account of we are Boston-born and -bred Jewish snobs, and calling them on Friday to request four dozen for Monday is about as planny-aheady as we get. ;)

Maybe I'm misremembering, but I thought Katz's makes multiple batches per day, and I've gotten hot bagels on weekend nights.
