Bagel Veteran Lox In On Vets Plaza

There's a new bagel in town and this veteran baker is betting his is the best in town.

Best On A Bagel opened just two weeks ago
in Vets plaza on Veterans Highway in Smithtown, but owner Chris Kicwra said he's been in the bagel business his whole life.

"This is my first store, but I have worked in the business forever, it is all I know."

Baking is in Kicwra's blood. His father owned bagel shops for years and Kicwra credits him with everything he knows. 

In a place like Long Island where the bagel is held sacred, Kicwra knows his bagel needs to be tops. His store fills the space left vacant by another bagel shop, but says that is where the similarities end.

"Our bagels are made here and baked here," he said. "I stand by my bagel."

Best on a Bagel is located at 385 Veterans Highway in Smithtown in Vets Plaza.
