The oldest bialy bakery in the U.S., Kossar's Bialys, on the Lower East Side,
has been expertly making the pale, yeasty discs of Polish origin at its no-frills
shop since 1934. Often hidden in the shadow of the ubiquitous New York
bagel, the bialy is similar in size but flatter and lighter than a bagel, and not
boiled, and has a depression in its center that’s filled either with tangy... more

The Scene On the far eastern edge of Grand Street lies Kossar's Bialystoker Kuchen Bakery--or Kossar's as it's commonly known--a legendary operation that dates back to 1927.

Who are all these people writing about how wonderful these "Kossar" bialys are? Last night I bought a dozen, believing them to be, as they always were, the best in the city -
Arguably the best in the country ...... well, NOT ANY MORE! They are tiny, doughy, tasteless and not worth the calories. The consensus among those who ate one was-
