Since 1996, Murray's Bagels has served traditional, hand-rolled, kettle-boiled NYC bagels from its Greenwich Village storefront on 6th Avenue. It's a counter-service format with a small dining area, which is the main reason lines form for both ordering and table seating during busy breakfast periods.
Reviewers describe the counter line as chaotic but fast-moving — staff reportedly work through crowds efficiently even when it looks like there's no clear place to stand. There's typically a separate line for counter pickup and a wait for a table, and even customers who order ahead for pickup have reported still waiting around 10 minutes. Going outside of peak breakfast hours is the best-supported way to shorten the wait.

Damnlines doesn't have a live camera at Murray's Bagels yet, so there's no real-time wait count for this spot. That said, reviewers describe the line as fast-moving but often chaotic, especially during weekend breakfast hours, with a separate wait for counter service versus a table. Even pre-ordered pickups have reportedly still taken about 10 minutes to come out.
Reported hours are Monday-Friday 6:00am-5:00pm and Saturday-Sunday 7:00am-4:00pm. Always confirm on Murray's own site or Yelp before visiting since hours can change.

It's known for traditional, hand-rolled, kettle-boiled New York bagels, serving Greenwich Village since 1996.
Based on reviewer reports, avoiding weekend breakfast hours (roughly the Sat-Sun 7am-4pm window) and the weekday morning rush gives the best chance of a shorter line, though damnlines does not yet have live camera data to confirm real-time conditions.
