Dizzy Izzy’s New York Bagels

CLOSED — this place has shut its doors with seemingly no plan to reopen.
Breakfast bagels were pretty good. Bye bye DizzyIzzy

CLOSED? Stopped there today for a bagel and there is a sign on the door that it’s closed. No one was inside.
The place is no-​frills and cheap. I like it.

I use to come here because they made a good cheap bacon & egg sandwich and would throw on tomatoes free of charge. All of a sudden they have a new flavor to business, charging more and giving less. They increased their prices by 50 cents but when i went to the cash register, they arbitrarily further increased the price by a dollar. I’m not a nickle and dime person, but i have a clear idea of how a business is run and Dizzy Izzy’s is not it. Oh and yea agree with everyone on the service, the act like they dont want your business, so dont give it to them.
Let them fold to make room for a new deli.

Yeah, not really a New York bagel. Just a big chewy untoasted bagel that was absolutely DROWNING in cream cheese. It was squishing out the middle and was heavy and gross. I only wanted to eat half of it. Overpriced, meh customer service. But you know, it’s a bagel. And maybe you’re really hungry. So if there’s literally nothing else nearby, it’s there. They also had a lot of random snacks and drinks (like, brand name prepackaged stuff, not stuff that they made), so if you need a coke or a bag of chips or something… then there you go.

We stayed in the area and Dizzy’s is opened 24hrs. The bagels were fresh and I loaded mine with fresh veggies and cream cheese and butter.
Prices are what you’d expect in the area and I’d definitely be back again.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I’ve never had a problem here. I usually get chicken salad on an everything bagel, which is delicious, and I can get that, a bag of chips, and a drink for about $ 7, which is a great deal.

Got a breakfast bagel (egg and ham on a plain bagel). Pretty good sandwich. Service was friendly, but I had to repeat my order 3x. Not quite sure why she didn’t just right it down, but anyway… my order come out fine, so consider them a solid 3.

It’s convenient and just barely adequate. The food is okay and service is fine but the workers do not like their jobs. Every time I go here the workers do everything you could expect of them, and prepare the food well. It’s like they’ve been yelled at one too many times by 9 – 5 white collars complaining about the way their chicken salad was prepared. They just have this demeanor they would much rather be at home watching a soccer game in their favorite recliner with a beer.

My boyfriend had gotten me bagels from here before and they were pretty awesome, so I stopped in one day to see if they had anything I could grab for lunch. I don’t think I’ll be back.
The employees just stand around talking, which wouldn’t bother me if they didn’t act like me walking up to order something wasn’t such an inconvenience. Nothing annoys me more than being treated like a bother when all I am doing is ordering food (what you’re supposed to do, right?).
I ordered a veggie sandwich (can’t remember the exact name, but you get the point) and it was terrible. I couldn’t even finish it. The girl at the cash register didn’t say a word to me as I was paying, even when I said thank you and told her to have a nice day. Just a rude, miserable staff.

Dear workers at Dizzy,
I am very sorry to interrupt you when you are oh so busy just standing there, but all I want is for you to toast a bagel for me, and spread a little cream cheese on it. Please don’t look at me like you want to kill me. Okay?
Thank you.

An ugly operation with very little to offer. Unsanitary look has me guessing if I’ve already poisoned myself by somehow just being there. People also aren’t very friendly here and customer service is failing. The oatmeal tastes like bread that’s been dissolving in water for days. It’s unfortunate that one of the few cheaper options in the area has lost all it’s potential.

What a weird place. With an office in the area and a soft spot for salt bagels, I sometimes pop in here for a toasted one with scallion cream cheese. They’re big and cheap, but generally bad bagels.
The employees are miserable and unpleasant & the place seems filthy.
Alas, it’s still the only place to get a salt bagel in beautiful ‘Hudson Square’.

Congrats Dizzy’s, you are now down to a 1 star review. Not only do you have the most inept, rude, intolerable employees in all the land, you undercook french fries and then murder me with your eyes when I ask (1^st) and then demand (2^nd) that you cook them longer.
Your prices are all over the damned place. Never once is it consistent.
And to top things off, the City of New York has rated you with a «C».
I haven’t seen anywhere in the city with a C, so I did some research. Here is what the Department of Health listed as critical in Dizzy’s:
Sanitary Violations
1) Cold food item held above 41º F (smoked fish and reduced oxygen packaged foods above 38 ºF) except during necessary preparation.
2) Hand washing facility not provided in or near food preparation area and toilet room. Hot and cold running water at adequate pressure to enable cleanliness of employees not provided at facility. Soap and an acceptable hand-​drying device not provided.
3) Food not protected from potential source of contamination during storage, preparation, transportation, display or service.
4) Food contact surface not properly washed, rinsed and sanitized after each use and following any activity when contamination may have occurred.
Avoid this place like the plague you’ll suffer with if you don’t!!!

Ugh, gross. I think I’ve eaten better bagels where? Deep down in the dirty south, that’s where. (I’m talking about the ATL, which is known for… chicken, among other things.).
#1 — these folks are as rude as possible (I was severely reprimanded for trying to use a credit card on my less than $ 5 purchase).
#2 — bagels are flat, not fluffy, NOT up to NYC standards. When I eat a bagel, I demand to eat something that reminds me of heaven. This place was a fail.
#3 — cream cheese: actually fairly decent. Fresh, you could tell that they made it just that morning.
Wouldn’t ever come back here, not when the city happens to be a bagel-​mecca.

Stayed at the SoHo Courtyard next door, and it was super convenient being next door. I had an Bacon, Egg, Cheese, Jalapeño on Garlic bagel, Garlic Bagel with Bacon Cream Cheese, and a plain bagel plain cream cheese and a coffee for $ 10.00
The bagels were pretty good and the sandwich must have had two eggs and was good tasting with good value!
When I saw the construction workers and post office workers go in there and the people knew what they wanted I got the feel that this place was a go to spot for locals that wanted quick decent bit of food for a good value.

Sketchy. Rude servers. Dirty store. Bad food. Don’t do it.

Straight up garbage. The food is bad and the service is even worse. They routinely get orders completely wrong and then don’t feel the need to fix it. Went here a second time to give them the benefit of the doubt, won’t go back again.
It’s also expensive.

In a city full of shitty bagel shops and delis, it is really hard to stand out and be the absolute shittiest. But this place somehow manages to accomplish this.
The workers are somehow totally unhelpful, mean, creepy, and seem seriously stoned all at once. The food is totally gross, I swear the bagels are a few days old. The prices are inconsistent, one day an iced coffee is $ 3.00, the next day it’s $ 1.75. I think I once paid $ 2 for an apple here when I was really tired and didn’t have the energy to argue. The only reason anyone is ever in here is because the other places nearby are too crowded, but there is still never really anyone in here ever.
Basically it sucks and I am never going back. The owner must live in space because if they have ever seen this place operate they would have fired everyone by now.

We wanted a bagel on aSunday morning, so we asked at our hotel desk. This place was just around the corner. Atmosphere was not very cozy. Counters were not wiped. Service was erratic, not efficient. The bagels were ok. My lox bagel had only lox and cream cheese; no onion, etc. None were listed as options on the menu; the default was with tomato which also was not on it.
Quality was ok.

Izzy… you are a beacon of light on a Dizzy hungover day…
I round the corner to your green goodness and praise god that you exist…
My BLT on an everything bagel and Gatorade are making my life a little bit easier this morning… I just want to thank you… for being you.
