  1. If you are making the bagels, find the recipe here. If you are buying them at a bagel store, plan to pick them up early the day you are serving them so they are fresh.
  2. Head out to the store and pick up all the fixins a day or two ahead.
  3. Set the bagels out on boards or platters with all the toppings and beverages and let everyone help themselves.
