Re: “The most important meal of the day”
I grew up in Brooklyn with bagel places on several corners. Bagel land's bagels are one of the few bagel that meet the standards of Brooklyn bagels and that says a lot.

Re: “City group seeks tough action on drugs”
I could not agree less with MNBN. Substance abuse,which, by the way, is not the only form of addiction, is a mental health issue. The attempt to use the legal system to treat this issue has little history of success. Are we really interested in criminalizing every individual that becomes addicted to and abuses prescriptions medication,as an example.
Addictive behaviors frequently result from self medicating issues such as shame, depression , and anxiety, just to name a few that are more common.
Increasing access to mental health and addiction treatment treatment along with addressing our local issues of poverty would go much further in managing the issues of substance use and other addictive behaviors
