Our original article:

On Dec. 10, we sent Newsday reporters Amy Onorato and Tara Conry out to find Long Island's best bagel. They spent a full day driving across Nassau and Suffolk, sampling a variety of bagels and spreads from East Hampton to Long Beach to Glen Cove to Franklin Square.
But our intrepid reporters found it too difficult to choose between a savory everything bagel with bacon herb cream cheese, a sweet French toast one with chocolate chip cream cheese, and everything in between.
So we're letting the people decide.
