Montreal would beg to differ.

Even outside Mile End? I think the large Orthodox Jewish community there has had some influence on the prevalence of Bagel shops in the area.

Don't recall downtown, or even other areas of the plateau as having such popular bagel shops.

I'm never going to understand why people love bagels. It's not even the second best bread my people have made. Laffa and Malawach both kick bagel bottom.

Canada has good bagels. Safeway often sells amazing cheese halapeno bagels [0]

In addition to bringing countries freedom and democracy we really ought to start promoting bagels as well.

Yea, having moved to London, I'm sad that:

1) Beigels don't have as much variety here, and I've only found them on Brick Lane or Chapel Market. Presumably there are some more places in Tottenham.

2) Chinese restaurants are not open on Christmas.
