I remember first seeing pictures of the rainbow bagel on social media over a year ago, maybe two years ago. It's just a bagel, but it's multiple colors and trendy and millennials have got to have it.

Parallel to this, I am not a huge bread eater, but I do like Brooklyn bagels. On my only other visit to New York, I stayed in Brooklyn and had a bagel two mornings in a row and had been salivating ever since.

So I knew when I came back to Brooklyn this summer, I'd be buying a bagel, like, every day and also three for the bus. This plan became even more enticing when my friend and hostess informed me that "the bagel store is across the street."
