This year, the Burlington bagel scene entered a brave new world. With spring came two new, busy bagel bakeries — the Bagel Place in South Burlington and Feldman’s Bagels on Pine Street. The latter marks the return to boiling and baking for Roy Feldman, a sort of grand poobah of local bagels: He founded Burlington Bagel Bakery in 1979 before taking a hiatus of a few decades.

Our ranking as America’s least religious state was reaffirmed by a Gallup poll in February that indicated only 23 percent of Vermonters consider religion an important part of their daily lives and attend religious services every, or almost every, week.
