A popular bagel shop known for its amazing stuffed bagels was recently highlighted on NBC's Today Show.

There are many popular bagel shops throughout the Hudson Valley area, so there is no shortage of great bagels, but one particular shop in Ulster County sets them apart from everyone else. And now they're making national TV.

I had never known or heard about stuffed bagels until my girlfriend Shannon Cooke mentioned Moonrise Bagels to me. She had enjoyed them while working at the Woodstock Film Festival last year and when I heard that these were a thing, it immediately piqued my interest.

Moonrise Bagels in Woodstock, NY reportedly offers these tasty delights. The story of Moonrise Bagels goes back to New Year's Eve 2020, and the idea of stuffing pizza inside a bagel. After months of experimenting, the idea became reality, and word quickly spread through Woodstock about the stuffed bagels.
