In case you haven’t been paying attention, Lower Manhattan is well on its way to becoming the bagel capital of the city, with beloved stand-bys mixing with exciting new bagelries. Apollo Bagels is the latest buzzy chain to grace downtown with a new location at 41 John St. And of course, downtown’s outpost does what Apollo does best: It keeps it simple.
Here, you won’t be overwhelmed by complicated menus or colorful cream cheese displays. Instead, there are three bagel choices: plain, sesame and everything. Sandwich options are minimalistic as well, with options including butter, cream cheese (take the option to add a tomato, trust us), lox and a few fish salads. Apollo also offers Parlor Coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice among its beverage options. The roomy interior and ample seating make it a perfect spot to meet for a quick bite.
Don’t let the streamlined options fool you — less is more at Apollo Bagels.
