Also on the sandwich side of the menu are Jerusalem Bagels (a lighter and larger, more breadlike version of the traditional bagels we know) served open face with avocado, eggs, feta cheese, hummus, arugula, tomato, tahini, aleppo pepper, and olive oil; or with house-cured salmon, labneh, preserved lemon tapenade, arugula, cucumber radish, and pickled onions.
