Pearl Street Bagels’ Build-Your-Own Bagel Sandwich

The sky is the limit when it comes to ordering a build-your-own bagel sandwich from Pearl Street Bagels. The benefit of a bagel sandwich on-the-go is that the bagel protects the sandwich contents, even when jostled around in a backpack in the backcountry. Take your pick of deli meats, veggies, cheese and extras, in addition to selecting your favorite bagel. A popular combination is roasted turkey on an everything bagel with a variety of veggies and Pearl Street Bagels’ pesto spread.

While we prefer to indulge in Creekside’s meatball sub or Reuben when the temperatures dip during the winter, neither make the best travel companions (these sandwiches are best served piping hot and fresh!). But no worries – their Italian sub is ready to hit the road, the slopes or wherever your winter adventures take you. Stacked with ham, salami, pepperoni, provolone, lettuce, tomato, mayo, pickles, red onions, banana peppers and Italian dressing on a sub roll, this sandwich is PACKED! Pro tip: Ask for the dressing on the side.
