Terrace Bagels

Terrace Bagels 2, Originally uploaded by nycblondieandbrownie

In the Brooklyn neighbourhood, erin says “arguably the best bagels in nyc”.

Another review, from yelp:

“The bagel I had from Terrace Bagels might possibly be the platonic ideal of a bagel. All other bagels are now ruined for me, and I will never be able to eat any other than those from Terrace Bagels again.”

The mean reds

Holly Golightly: You know those days when you get the mean reds?

Paul Varjak: The mean reds. You mean like the blues?

Holly Golightly: No. The blues are because you’re getting fat, and maybe it’s been raining too long. You’re just sad, that’s all. The mean reds are horrible. Suddenly you’re afraid, and you don’t know what you’re afraid of. Do you ever get that feeling?
