The tyranny of Einstein’s is over. Real bagels have arrived and they’re something Denver (and many other cities not called “New York”) has beenlacking for a long time. While everyone else around town is opening globalsmall plate restaurants named something like Noun & Adjective, Rosenberg’s is operating from the heart of Five Points with a modern take on the traditional Jewish deli. Rosenberg’s bagels are special because they’re boiled in New York water. How? In lieu of redirecting the Hudson River to Colorado with a series of canals, Rosenberg’s set up a filtration system to mimic the mineral content of NYC’s water. The result of all the water manipulation is bagels that are crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, just as god intended. Things are going so well with this authentic bagel operation that Rosenberg’s is currently expanding into an adjacent space to make room for a bigger kitchen and a bakery. Hell, New York itself is even taking notice. That means you should probably get down here and eat one of their excellent smoked fish sandwiches, instead of whatever you’re about to put in your mouth with Asiago cheese and jalapeño on it. It’s been real Einstein’s, but we’re moving on.
