Hey guys, salut. It's Alex. It's 6 a.m. here in New York.

This is day two of the New York flog and we are gonna

go get some good bagels. So let me share with you the plan for this morning.

So basically we are downtown... so around here... and

I want to go in the upper east side, if I'm not mistaken. I AM mistaken, upper West

side to a place called Absolute Bagels.

Absolute Bagels, it's supposed to be the bomb when it comes to bagel, and also it's not far away from Central Park,

so I thought maybe we can go. We get some bagels. We go to Central Park.

We might be just a tiny bit late for the sunrise, but we get the morning vibes, okay?

Let's go

Wow, nothing makes me more happy than a blue sky.

The place we're going to is supposed to be one of the City's very best bagels.

I mean, the best bagel in New York?

That's some pressure for sure. I'm really happy to be in New York. That's a good [chair]. I love mornings.

I love the evening and the wine and all that stuff, but I think I prefer the mornings. Every morning is like a new promise.

It depends what you like, sesame, poppy, everything.

Oh even better.

Yeah, absolutely.

So I just got two bagels at Absolute Bagel. When I arrived like an hour ago

only a few people's were waiting,

but as soon as I came out the whole place is packed. Like literally, you have to wait one hour to get one bagel.

And now I am on my way to Central Park because I believe that great food deserves great places.

All right, so I think there's a spot with my name on it.

It's gonna be perfect to enjoy

those beautiful bagels, and I'm really hungry because I had almost nothing, like a

half of a cereal bar this morning.

Good.

You are gonna sit right there

so you can watch big big bagels, big big bagels. There are dogs everywhere. I'm a bit scared with all those bagels.

This one's some kind of a weird one but it's a fancy one. It's whole wheat

Everything bagel

with Blueberry cream cheese.

It's good to have a sweet bagel in the morning. I feel like it's easier to wake up. So everything bagel has

sesame seeds, poppy seeds, salt,

but also some garlic flakes.

I mean it's good on its own, and it pairs right with the salt, but with the blueberry cream cheese,

I'm not sure. No. Doesn't work so much with the blueberry stuff.

The best bagel to go with this blueberry cream cheese would have been a cinnamon bagel.

Making whole wheat bagels or whole wheat bread is always a bit more

technical than making plain bagels or plain bread.

The rising time, the proofing time, are not the same and also the dough doesn't react the same.

I mean, frequently it's more dense than plain bagels. I can't say this bagel is very fluffy.

It's more like.. it's soft, of course.. It's more like dense and chewy.

I can feel my teeth biting into it.

Next bagel.

It's a more classic one. There's nothing on it. It's just a plain bagel with butter.

I think it's good to have a

reference.

Oh, soft.

The plain bagels were fresher than the whole-wheat one, so I really expect a lot from this one.

Do not disappoint me.

Oh, that's better. That's way better.

Complete different world. I told you about the difference between whole wheat and plain...

There it is.

It still is dense and, you know, a bit chewy,

but it's not the same.

softer

fresher

lighter

This is Superb. This is stunning and the skin is very shiny. How shiny?

I'm gonna say something very French, but it reminds me of a fresh baguette in Paris.

I can feel the same

dedication and the same

freshness, I love the slight crisp there is when you bite into the skin, into the crust.

Seriously guys. I'm not lying

This is genius, and now I can safely say it. You can't find good bagels in Paris.

Nope. I've been to many places... you can't find good bagels, like great bagels.

mmm Having a fresh bagel in the middle of Central Park on a sunny day. What a nightmare.

So I'm gonna say clearly, that plain bagel with butter,

out of ten? was a ten, definitely a ten.

Come with me.

That's the end of a beautiful

morning spent in Central Park with those lovely Absolute Bagels.

Guys, I really hope you enjoy this kind of different

immersive experience. I really wanted you to fully enjoy and fully experience what I, what I felt on that

particular day. So you know, as much as I love editing like short and punchy stuff,

It's also nice sometimes just to cool it down and just to share more with you guys.

So if you like it and give it the thumbs up like it, also leave your comments down below.

It's always nice to hear about you.

Bye bye, salut.
