Why Guests Love This
Kettlemans is the 24-hour backup plan every traveler needs. Guests with early morning flights grab a dozen wood-fired bagels and cream cheese to go. Late arrivals who land after every restaurant has closed find a warm, well-lit shop with fresh bagels coming out of the oven at 2 AM. The Montreal-style bagels are hand-rolled, boiled in honey water, and baked in a wood-burning oven — smaller, denser, and slightly sweeter than what most visitors expect. The Bank Street location on the way between the hotel and downtown makes it an easy stop in either direction.
