After last week's Manhattan bagel broiges, here comes another carb-related kerfuffle.
In New York (where else) buying a sliced bagel will now set you back more dough than a closed one.

"The cash-strapped state has been enforcing a bizarre distinction in the tax laws which requires delis and food peddlers to impose a levy on sliced bagels -- even though there is no tax when the breakfast staple is sold whole."
