The New York Bakery Company has launched ‘an Unexpected Summer Romance’ campaign that sees the brand create a series of romance novels with a twist.

The series stars New York bagels and various delectable food toppings having passionate, and at times illicit, encounters.

It is inspired by vintage romance novels, and tells the stories of intimate trysts between burgers and bagels, avocados and bagels and even strawberries, cream cheese and bagels.

They are titled ‘A Strawberry Seduction’, ‘An Avocado Affair’ and ’The Burger Infidelity’. Styled like 1940s escapist romance novels, they will also appear as a series of print executions.

The series hopes to inspire consumers to consider the classic New York bagel as a surprising but perfect summer recipe companion.
