We asked for your favorites and now have three contestants in the running. Each is being profiled this week as part of our ongoing DVlicious contest. Here’s the lowdown on one who made the cut.

Nyack Hot Bagels & Deli, 348 Route 59, Central Nyack (845) 358-0837

What Makes Them Bagelicious: People can't help but notice that nostalgic feeling when the bite into a Nyack Hot Bagels bagel. That because the bagels are made the same way Jewish immigrants hand-rolled them a century ago.

"You just can't duplicate a hand-rolled bagel," said Owner Chris Kamvosoulis. His father and uncle started the deli in 1995 and have never stopped hand-rolling the 13 varieties they sell. "You can tell a hand-rolled bagel by its stretch marks," he said.

Crazy Flavors: Expect the traditional. "We don't have chocolate or cheddar cheese bagels," he said. "We keep it classic."

Reminder: The contest ends Monday, April 25 at 5 p.m.. You can vote multiple times, albeit once per day.
