Why You Should Go: While it’s a well-known fact that there’s nowhere better than Baltimore for crabs, we must concede that perhaps our Atlantic neighbors in The Big Apple take the crown for best bagels. Luckily the Maryland resistance is strong, led by Bagel Works of Lutherville, where you can get New York-quality bagels without the New York prices.

Why You'll Love It: Boasting a bevy of bagel varieties, Bagel Works has something to please you all day long. An impressive list of specialty cream cheeses provides the perfect shmear, but you’ll also find all your favorite deli meats, wraps, soups, sandwiches, salads and more, not to mention your always-essential hot or iced coffee. Breakfast doesn’t just have to have a hole in it, however, as Bagel Works serves up omelets, muffins, cakes and more, all day long. So make it a traditional bagel and lox or go for your own creation at Maryland’s capital of bagels, Bagel Works of Lutherville.
