Oh, how I wish I lived closer to Bagel Palace! Their bagels are just right, as you'd expect from the name, but other things on the menu are top notch as well. I've been numerous times, but have to tell you about a particularly nice experience when the tall gentleman served a table near me, noticed me eyeing the steaming bowl of matzo ball soup he'd just placed in front of another customer, and said ""We just made a fresh batch. Would you like a bowl?"" ""Yes, please!"" I said plaintively, and oh, my, was it good. Talk about homemade: lovely little strands of fresh dill floating in with the chicken broth and bits of carrot. Delicious. I'm glad that my sister told me about this place.
Pros: Tasty bagels, kindly service, and you can't beat the homemade matzo ball soup
Cons: Can get crowded, but that's a sign of its popularity
