On the walls of Leo’s Bagels in lower Manhattan, is a proud declaration of “bagels with chutzpah”. It is accurate and appropriately bold.

In spite of the heavy foot traffic from the nearby Bedford L, the ‘smiths are all quite nice and willing to entertain most bagel requests. The major innovation/appeal of Bagelsmith is that they are open 24 hours a day, encouraging nocturnal visits to Bageldom.
