NYC Bagel Tours and Veganuary are teaming up for a special plant-based bagel experience. Since 2014, Veganuary has inspired and supported millions of people worldwide to try vegan, working with businesses to expand plant-based options and bringing veganism into the spotlight through national and international media.

A portion of proceeds will be donated to a vegan charity.
