When a friend said she was sending me bagels from New Hampshire I thanked her. But, in all honesty, I didn't expect much. Not to sound like the bagel snob I am, but New Hampshire is not NYC or even Philly or Baltimore. Evidently, it is better. My husband and I both loved and quickly devoured our wonderful gift. (I even went out and bought lox to complete the experience.) Linda S., York, PA
