If you’ve already waited in line for a Cronut, its time to taste test the latest New York Foodie Fad: The Rainbow Bagel at Brooklyn’s Bagel Store.
Fun Food Friday: New York’s Rainbow Bagel Craze
Popular with tourists and locals alike, these rainbow bagels have been all the rage on Instagram and today I’ve got the inside scoop. The two Brooklyn locations have seen major lines so you definitely want to try for an off-peak time like midweek or first-thing in the morning. I was surprised by the really long evening lines so don’t expect the crowds to thin as the day goes on.

On a recent weekend visit, they were handing out home-made rainbow playdoh to kids which definitely made the wait go by a little faster. The colored bagel and cream cheese offerings change often but you can count on the famous rainbow bagels being on the menu, until they sell out for the day.

The rainbow bagels are slightly sweet so they are great paired with the funfetti sprinkle-loaded or canoli flavored cream cheese. The day we visited, they were also selling Superbowl team colored bagels and red, pink and white red velvet bagels. My daughter paired her red velvet bagel with red velvet cream cheese and it was like eating dessert for breakfast.

In addition to the colored varieties, there are traditional and non-traditional bagels (like Cragels) and flavors (savory and sweet) that shouldn’t be overlooked.

If you’re craving something savory, the bacon, egg and cheese bagel features all three ingredients baked right in/on the dough. It sounded a little weird but it was one of the tastiest bagels I’ve ever had.

If you’ve got friends visiting from out of town or if you’re heading to NYC, add a stop here to the agenda.
The bagels run about $4 bucks each (pre-cream cheese) so be prepared to spend some dough… Grab some coffee and take your bagels to the nearby park so the kids can run off their sugar high. Win-win.

Barbie is really traveling in style these days with roof-top dining, chandelier lighting, pull-out swimming pool with slide, fire pit, bathroom and more. Girls will love taking their Barbies “glamping” as they play for hours. Make sure to leave yourselves some time to put together the pieces and attach the zillions of stickers.

You can choose from starry night, sea and safari themes (each theme features three images) which can be projected with or without the humidifier running.
