H&H Bagels, one of New York City’s most famous bagel brands, has opened its first Texas location in River Oaks. <\/p>\n
What\u2019s special about it?<\/p>\n
H&H Bagels, which has a reputation for being the “quintessential New York City bagel”, has made appearances in shows including “Seinfeld,” “Sex and the City” and “The Office.” <\/p>\n
The bagel shop was founded in 1972 on the Upper West Side of Manhattan and now has seven locations in NYC, as well as franchises in Illinois, Florida, California, Washington, D.C., Tennessee and North Carolina. The River Oaks location is the first franchise to open in Texas. <\/p>\n
Respecting the craft<\/p>\n
The H&H Bagels website states the business has maintained its original recipe for over 50 years. Its bagels are proofed\u2014letting the yeast dough rest and rise long enough to become light and puffy\u2014kettle-boiled, then oven-baked. Bagels are baked on-site all day.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re incredibly excited to bring H&H Bagels to Texas,\u201d said Jay Rushin, CEO of H&H Bagels. \u201cThe responses to our recent openings around the country have been amazing, and we can\u2019t wait to share an authentic taste of New York with the Houston community.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Houston franchise is owned by Noman Khan, a native New Yorker who has lived in Houston for more than a decade. <\/p>\n
