Recommend for plain bagels - the bagels are great. Would not advise to pay for the toppings as they are not reasonably priced.

Tipps für Reisende
Verkehrsmittel
Long Island Railroad is the best way of getting to Manhattan
While it is less regular and a bit more expensive than the metro, LIRR is by far the fastest way of getting to Manhattan. Forest Hills to Penn station takes only 16 minutes on average. At weekends check out the CityTicket which offers discounted travel.
