One of New York City’s most iconic foods is the bagel, and Utopia Bagels in Queens, New York has been a destination for both locals and tourists for over 40 years.

One of the biggest reasons why the shop is so popular is because the restaurant bakes up to 15,000 bagels throughout the day. Customers are almost always guaranteed a fresh, hot bagel when they come in.

We visited the shop to see what makes these bagels so famous, and how they are made in big batches.
