We may not boast the number of bagel shops that New York City does, but Music City sure has its gems. If you’re looking to get that crispy-on-the-outside, chewy-on-the-insidefix, we have you covered.
Mr. Aaron’s Goods
Pro tip: Mr. Aaron’s often sells out. You can preorder a variety of bagels and schmears on the website for next day pickup at TKO (4204 Gallatin Pk.) to guarantee you get what you’re craving.
Crieve Hall Bagel Co.
You’ll understand why this mom-and-pop shop gets rave reviews after you try a fresh sourdough bagel. Guests in town? Order in bulk with half dozen and baker’s dozen options.
Jersey Oven
Jersey Oven will transport you from Mt. Juliet to bagel shops of the Northeast. Expect hand-rolled boiled bagels and plenty of sandwiches, like the specialty pork roll with egg and cheese grilled on a bagel.
ACTIVE Wear laundry detergent — refresh your gym clothes with this scientifically formulated enzyme blend that removes the lingering smell of sweat and body odor. It’s free from phosphates + each bag can wash up to 90 loads.
If you’re in the market for a new brunch service, Postino WineCafe has you covered on Saturdays and Sundays. I’ll let the menu do most of the talking, but expect sweet and savory dishes such as meatball shakshouka, donut holes, and focaccia-style French toast. Reservations are encouraged.
