The city's bagel scene has exploded, and now top shops are teaming up for the Nashville Bagel Crawl.

That's right. A bagel crawl.

Why it matters: Nashville used to boast just a couple of decent bagel shops, but a wave of newcomers brightened the scene and our mornings with doughy goodness.

Driving the news: The Nashville Bagel Crawl runs Thursday through May 15.

Seven bagel shops are participating and rolling out limited-time-only sandwiches.

State of play: Bagelshop and Retrograde Coffee collaborated on launching the bagel crawl "to bring Nashville's growing bagel community together to celebrate the people, the passion, and the love behind every bake," per a press release.

If you go: Bagel enthusiasts are encouraged to map out their routes to visit as many of the shops as possible.

All or Nothing Bagels (my fave), Mr. Aaron's Goods, Ugly Bagel, Crieve Hall Bagel Co. and Benji's Bagel & Coffee House (Adam's fave) are the other shops joining in on bagel-mania.

Flashback: We profiled Nashville's bagel boom a year ago.
