Larry Rosenblum and Mark Cosgrove's Spread Bagelry (262 S. 20th St.), which Meal Ticket first noted last summer, officially opened for business in Rittenhouse yesterday. They're doing up bagels in the Montreal style, boiling them in honeyed water and baking them up in a custom-built wood-burning oven. (Varieties include the traditional sesame, plus poppy, everything, whole wheat, whole wheat everything and plain.) True to its name, Spread is also offering up a variety of bagel add-ons, from freshmade sweet jams and butters to veggie, roasted garlic and smoked salmon cream cheeses. Sandwich options include "The Canadian" (with housemade "smoked meat," Montreal's signature contribution to the brined deli meat pantheon), the "Spread Special" (housemade whitefish salad, cream cheese, onion, tomato) and breakfast options like the a frittata scramble (cheddar, roasted tomato, Lancaster smoked turkey bacon). Spread is open daily from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.; on Saturday and Sunday, they do all-day brunch with table service from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. (BYO vodka to take advantage of their Bloody Mary mix.)

    No bloody caesar mix? Looks fake Canadian to me and way too expensive.
