Chewy's is a good bagel closest thing to a NYC in town if that's what you're looking for.

Chewy’s is most certainly not an NYC bagel. I had a breakfast sandwich from there a few days ago and it was delicious, but the bagel itself is soft and pillowy…nowhere near NYC style.

They don't have a big line for nothing! Excellent breakfast sammies.

Chewys does not attempt to make a nyc-style bagel. They proudly hang this art on their wall: https://imgur.com/a/KjfGcqS

Go to Bodos in Charlottesville for a better bagel

Nate’s is much closer to NY style than Chewy’s. Chewy’s bagels are sourdough, which makes them interesting/unique/delicious, but very different flavor and texture compared to an NY bagel.
