According to these workers, to make a New York bagel, you mix the dough, then form rings with the dough and then refrigerate the dough for a day. Then boil them for a while. (Not sure how long). Next, bake them in an oven. Once they are out, then add any toppings. Sell for About $.50 a bagel when bought by the dozen. Cream cheese here starts as plain and stuff is mixed in. Lox, a fish Jewish people here in New York like, is mixed with the cream cheese and charge an 66% cream cheese price premium. Instead of 6$ per pound of cream cheese, it is $10 if it is cream cheese with some lox mixed in.
