For many Baruch students, the variety of food choices provided by the many different carts and restaurants around the school is unable to beat the simplicity of the bagels from Bagel Express at the far corner of the plaza. Many students only have a short lunch break before they’re rushing to their next class once again. It’s inconvenient for them to wait on long lines for a lunch box or run over to the fast food restaurants near the subway station. Pizza is always a choice, but there are complaints that eating too much of it is only paving the path to freshman 15. With the lack of an actual bakery around the school, the bagels from the deli become an obvious choice. There’s fast service, large servings, and most of all, who can reject cream cheese looking like ice cream behind the counter.
