Carol asked a simple question: “Best bagels in DC?”
Let’s do this:
Buckle up for some of the original battle replies:
“As a NY bagel snob, the only good bagels in SE/SW DC are Bethesda Bagels.”
“CYM first and a different type of second with Bagels Etc”
Ed. Note: Outpouring of love for Bagels Etc. here.
“Bethesda Bagels!!! Especially an egg bagel sandwich with tomato”
“I’ll expand it here too … @TheBagelrySS … I’ve tried the rest and found the best”
“Bagels, Etc. for sure…even the Jersey folks I’ve forced to try them mumble that they’re at least as good.”
“Depends on which neighborhood you’re in or willing to travel to. Any Bethesda Bagel or Bullfrog Bagel that’s nearby, but I’m not aware of bagels in DC that are worth traveling for. In Alexandria, however, the best bagels of the DMV are in Del Ray at Bagel Uprising”
“I liked the recently opened @pearlsbagels more than CYM.” Ed. Note: Pearl’s Bagels opened Saturday near the Convention Center on 7th.
“CYM has best SANDWICHES but Bagels etc. has best BAGELS (their egg bagel is insane)”
“Call your mother. Barracks row. I drove from the cathedral once a week to get a bag. SO WORTH IT.”
“Call Your Mother.
This isn’t even close.”
“Several people have said it already but @bakedbyyael has this Jersey kid’s vote”
“@bethesdabagels b/c of taste, size, & ease of acquiring followed closely by @CYMDeli (sadly not the easiest to pickup or have delivered”
“@bakedbyyael they don’t even need butter or cream cheese to be good!”
“Bread Bite Bakery”
“Call Your Mother! Hands down the best here in DC!”
“@BullfrogBagels likely going to be as good as you’re getting here!”
“Without a doubt the list is as follows (as of May 2019, understand it may have come a long way): 1) Bagels Etc 2) Call Your Mother 3) Brooklyn Bagel (Arlington)”
“Don’t sleep on Bagel City in Rockville.”
“Goldberg’s…ok fine it’s technically in MD”
“You can get @CYM_DC bagels at Mercy Me in the West End! So good”
“Not DC, but @BagelUprising in Del Ray”
“If we’re expanding to DC “area”…Ize’s on Rockville Pike”
“Brooklyn bagel in courthouse is so under appreciated.”
“Hands down @buffalobergendc either on the Hill or at @UnionMarketDC”
“@BrooklynBagelVA is far and a way the best bacon egg and cheese I’ve gotten while living in the dc area”

Potomac Harmony is Back! Following a gap year of competing, then virtual rehearsals during the pandemic, followed by the well-earned retirement of our long-term director, a year of a director search, Potomac Harmony hit the regional contest stage in Concord, North Carolina in March for the first time since 2018! It was exhilarating, reaffirming, and rewarding!
The chorus hit all of its goals, the biggest of which was to have fun and sing our best on contest stage — we did both! Because we earned a score over 400 points, our new Director, Allison Lynskey, was awarded the Novice Director award, photo above. Additionally, one of our charter members, Jackie Bottash, was nominated for and honored with the Leadership Excellence award. It was a celebratory weekend!
What’s next? So much! We now look forward to upcoming performances, growing our membership, and expanding our musical product with new arrangements and an education component each week. It’s an exciting time to be part of this ever-growing ensemble!
