BACKSTORY: The New York–style bagel is the original style of bagel available in the United States, originating from the Jewish community of New York City, and can trace its origins to the bagels made by the Ashkenazi Jews of Poland.

A traditional New York-style is typically larger and fatter than a mass-produced bagel, or a wood-fired Montreal-style bagel. They have also grown over time, from about 3 ounces (85 g) in 1915 to 6 ounces (170 g) in 2003.^[1]

As Jewish refugees from Poland and Eastern Europe began to arrive in New York City en masse in the 1800s, they brought their traditional foods with them such as challah, brisket, knishes, and bagels.^{[citation needed]} For many decades, bagels were little known outside of the Jewish community, where their popularity was widespread. Bagels became so popular among the Jewish community of New York, that unions were formed to represent bagel bakers in the city, such as Bagel Bakers Local 338, which by the early 1910s represented over 300 bagel craftsman in Manhattan.^[1]

New York–style bagels are the original bagel available in the United States, where it was popular as a filling, tasty, inexpensive treat for Jewish immigrants living in Manhattan in the 1800s.^[2] Beginning in the 1960s, the popularity of the New York–style bagel began to increase with the non-Jewish population of New York City and beyond. Over the decades the size of the New York–style bagel increased from around 3 ounces to the more commonly found 6 ounces sizes today.^[1]

A fresh New York–style bagel is traditionally never toasted.^[9] Some New York City bagel shops, like Murray’s in Chelsea and Ess-a-Bagel at 21st and Third Avenue, have had no-toasting policies.^[10]^[11] Toasting of bagels in New York City is considered a bastardization^[10] and sacrilege.^[12] Former New York Times food critic Mimi Sheraton called the practice of eating toasted bagels obscene.^[13] (SOURCE: Wikipedia)
