Located just north of the Tompkins Square Park on Avenue A, Tompkins Square Bagels offers all things bagel related. The area was overdue for a fully functioning bagel shop and now it has one that features a locally created mosaic sign above to welcome all. The choice of bagels and spreads, with such standards as salt or onion to go with lox, whitefish, or scallion, among others, is fairly extensive. Lines tend to come and go with peaks and valleys throughout the day. Seating in the back is functional for small groups. TSB also features a range of drinks including coffee and teas as well as some other dry goods available on shelves for purchase. There's a little outdoor space in the back that could be a nice retreat from the city in the summer. For a smorgasbord of bagel delights, check it out.

This Philadelphia-based coffee company has three locations in Manhattan: one in Tribeca, one in SoHo (at 270 Lafayette St), as well as one in NoHo. La Colombe values simplicity; so much so that they don't even have a menu. The top priority here is coffee, and nothing else. There's no Wi-Fi, no merchandise, and no lunch foods. Luckily, the coffee delivers on all fronts, and is a favorite among New Yorkers for its rich flavor and low price.
