Answer 1

New York bagels Schmoo Schmork schmagels.

My favourite in Montreal is St. Viateur Bagel, on St. Viateur just off Parc.

Answer 2

I have had both when in NYC and in Montreal when I was a chef, in both citys you have a number of choices for fresh and great tasting bagels, one caution if you compare them, Montreal bagels tend to be smaller, chewier and not a sweet as NYC bagels and are more then likely to be baked in a stone wood fired oven so there is a bit of a smokiness.

NYC bagels are more bread like, chewy and have nice inside body, and will be 30% bigger that there Montreal cousins, so there is a bit of a difference, even here in Toronto we have several places for fresh baked bagels and even those are different as some are made by eastern european bakerys and tend to be even bigger and a textural difference,

And with those different joys, cream cheese and lox, or smoked salmon, they seem to be a satisfaction. although, while stale they alter into "rocks": a legend explains that throughout WW2 American pilots threw old bagels out of their planes as added weapons. yet a clean toasted bagel, the two undeniable or with a splash butter is scrumptious and extremely filling so makes a sturdy, decrease priced meal.
