The $2.50 City Market Bagel Sandwich, March 2007. There are few among us who didn’t love the City Market Bagel Sandwich. Two dollars and fifty cents for a meat, cheese, and as many vegetables as you can possibly cram into a delicious toasted bagel. It was the “loophole, the best deal in town” as one UVM student said.
It’s true, the Bagel Sandwich was the end all and be-all of off campus cuisine.
Beyond a quick, tasty, and cheap meal for breakfast, lunch, or dinner it was a hangover cure, an on-the-way-to-the-mountain must have, a cheap picnic date, a mid-lab pick-me-up and so much more.
In death, the $2.50 Bagel Sandwich has been replaced by a less-popular neophyte, the $5.00 bagel sandwich, but nothing will ever replace the $2.50 Bagel Sandwich that will live on forever in our collective memory.
Comments from the public:
Anyone remember Crystal Pepsi or how about Big League Chew? It now seems that we may need to add the Bagel Sandwich to this sad list.

Who does City Market think they are? I mean the Bagel Sandwich wasn’t just a great deal it was a Burlington institution.
–Candy Cincinnati
Five dollars for a Bagel Sandwich, that’s not only atrocious, it’s ludicrous!
—Martina Mint
City Market you have desecrated your own wonderful deli and ruined the sanctuary of our beloved Bagel Sandwich, you’ve taken the loophole and tied a noose.
—Rob Booz
