the bagel factory is great! we frequented here many saturday & sunday mornings for brunch. in the nice weather, you can eat outside on forbes ave. \n\nthey have great bagels (not NY, but hey, still the best you can get for 8 hours away). they have hands-down the BEST challah french toast. we used to try and split it, but there ended up being a lot of fighting over who was getting more of their share, so now we each get an order. service can be a bit slow when they are busy during brunch hours, but i like a lazy brunch so i don't mind.
