It's a disheartening place (the ABP, I mean, not Newscorp--well, that's another story) but this salmon wasabi bagel sounds exactly like the thing to perk up my long days. Plus, it falls under my $5 lunch limit.

The first time I heard a philly roll called a bagel roll was about a year ago, but there was also... a bagel... around that roll. (I didn't try it. It was $12 and possibly disgusting, so I opted out.) But.. thanks for trying it? *shivers* The sauce sounds disgusting, but for $4, you can opt out of the wasabi vinaigrette and maybe make it a win-win.

I actually love this sandwich, and for days on end I would keep going back for more - maybe it was that the first time it was made for me, the lady put double salmon; maybe I just love wasabe flavor, but really, it's all about the textures and the kick. Get the bagel toasted. (And readers - it isn't a wasabe-flavored vinaigrette, it's got a thick duck-sauce-like consistency and is the best vehicle one could come up with for spreading the wasabe flavor without putting customers at risk of an employee's uneasy hand.)

Wasabi at breakfast? In the form of a salad dressing? I'm no expert but I was in Japan last year briefly. I enjoyed eating miso soup, vegetable curry, and rice for breakfast. No wasabi in sight as far as I could tell. I'm back at work in White Plains and missing the hubbub of midtown. Anyone want to offer me a job in the city? LOL. Wasabi at breakfast?

The next time you're jonesing for one, I recommend the one at Citarella over on 48th and 6th Ave. It's $4 - $5, and, even though it's not the heartiest meal, it's quite tasty, and they put in a notable amount of good quality salmon.
