Would You Like a Bagel With That?

With the blistering cold weather and the sting of mid-semester course work, I suggest getting some time off campus. It can do wonders for you. Not feeling like doing something big? How about making a pilgrimage to eating the best bagel in Philly? Located in Rittenhouse Square, Spread Bagelry puts a little big of magic and a lot of care into their bagels. If you’re feeling hungrier, feel free to order a sandwich. If you go on Saturday or Sunday from 11-1, you will even be able to listen to music wafting in from outside while you eat your specialty bagel/sandwich and drink your specialty coffee. Here’s their website!
