The Life of the Mind
Walking in Park Slope today, I saw the single most beutiful bagel I've ever imagined: plump, evenly browned, encrusted in seeds and in golden nuggets of onion, bejewelled with salt and oozing with molten cream cheese..It was in the arms of a young boy, and I fell like wolves upon the child's parent. Who was, of course, spooked by my heated inquiries, imagining (he being John Turturro) that I was a would-be starfucker or indie film zealot of some kind.
I think he was a little disappointed when he realized I actually cared only about the bagel. When I had my own, however, my suspicions were wholly confirmed: the best bagel in the world is served by the Bagel Hole on 7th Avenue between 12th and 13th, and can be as thoroughly enjoyed by any passerby as by the children of celebrity.
