Queens Chamber opens voting for best bagel competition

QUEENS, N.Y. - Voting is now open for the Queens Chamber of Commerce's inaugural Queens’ Best Bagel Competition.

There are 55 nominated bagel eateries to settle the debate over who in Queens serves up the best bagel.

"Whether you like them with butter or a smear of cream cheese and lox, the doughy delights are well-loved by our diverse Queens community and I look forward to visiting the winning establishment next month," Grech said.

The winner will be announced on National Bagel and Lox Day, Friday, Feb. 9. Not only will the winner be crowned with the title of Queens' Best Bagel and bragging rights, but they will receive a plaque and a complimentary membership to the Queens Chamber of Commerce. 

The second and third-place winners will receive certificates.
