Water Street brings NYC-quality bagels to Syracuse

Think about bagels, really good bagels, and where to get them. The obvious answers come to mind: Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey. But if you ask Mark Cummings, who was at Water Street Bagel Co. with his girlfriend and her father, the popular Syracuse bagel shop is “phenomenal.” Water Street Bagel Co. opened in 2018. Meg Dellas’ family wasn’t new to the restaurant game; her great-grandfather started Varsity Pizza and her family also operates Faegan’s. Dellas never thought she would get into the family industry. But something drew her back to Syracuse to work for her father at Faegan’s, and her family ties have helped her succeed at her own restaurant.
