The good news: Turenne is open again. Very short hours, but they include the hours of the Union Square farmer's market, where I was picking up ingredients for gazpacho.

The bad news: I have had the real thing recently enough to know that this is not it.

Still pretty good as Boston area bagels go, but much breadier and without the flavor or texture differences from a New York style bagel. It has been much longer since I had a real one of those, but this isn't that either.

St Viateur will ship, with a minimum order of two dozen. It's only slightly more expensive than getting bagels from bakeries around here. I may have to start putting in group orders. In the meantime it was certainly convenient not to have to go out of my way or buy a large quantity.

In Montreal, even the chains have to try to keep up. Patisserie de Nancy is the croissant of my childhood. I have delivered their newspapers.
Première Moisson received an excellent review from Jim Leff, when he took a trip to Montreal. I miss the old Chowhound, terribly.
