Wise Sons Bagel & Bakery Opens Friday

The long-awaited Wise Sons Bagel & Bakery will open its doors on Fillmore Street this Friday, filling a much-complained about void in San Francisco’s bagel scene. In addition to bagels (they plan to make more than 5,000 every day!), patrons will be able to purchase smoked salmon and pastrami by the pound as well as order from a new menu featuring tasty bagel sandwiches and salads—we recommend the egg and cheese bagel for breakfast followed by the smoked trout salad with butter lettuce and watermelon radish for lunch. Yum. // Mon-Fri, 7am-3pm, Sat-Sun 8am-3pm, 1520 Fillmore Street (Western Addition); wisesonsdeli.com/fillmore
