A.R.E.A. (Not Arena) Bagels To Open Today
According to the tipster who sent in the top photo, the bagel store at 55 5th Avenue in Park Slope, which was initially to be named Arena Bagels before the Ratnerian associations began eliciting snarls from passersby during construction, is scheduled to open today under the new name A.R.E.A.

According to the tipster who sent in the top photo, the bagel store at 55 5th Avenue in Park Slope, which was initially to be named Arena Bagels before the Ratnerian associations began eliciting snarls from passersby during construction, is scheduled to open today under the new name A.R.E.A. Bagels and Bialys. (Evidently Brooklyn Slim’s, which the owner originally told The Brooklyn Paper he might use, didn’t make the cut). As for the periods in the name, your guess is as good as ours. The bigger question, however, will be how this place will do against Bergen Bagels. What do you think?

Please elaborate
This post raises a number of questions:
If the 1:56 hate’s the guy from 2:09 so much, why does he care whether he loses money or not?
What kind of Mom doesn’t use a stroller?
Don’t most people have a mom?
Who ate the bagels at ARENA?
Even if the area goes to total crap because of Atlantic Yards, won’t people still buy bagels? It used to be that you’d only find bagel stores in cheap neighborhoods (like Dizzy’s on 14th street, or La Bagel Delight in the slope back when)
Why do brooklynites hate so much on blogs?
in park slope, these topics are all highly integrated and related.
it’s impossible to have a conversation about bagels without also bringing up stroller moms.
just like it’s impossible to not have someone bring up ay.
it’s sick, but it’s the truth.
you had me at hole…
Back to the bagels in the Heights. We have the place on Montague, but their bagels are really just rolls. They’re still better that Bagelady (remember them, by the Clark St. station?) I called them Baglady, and their bagels really sucked big time! I’ll have to try Bagel Hole next time I’m Slopin’.
i don’t mind the park slope moms.
i’m a little more laid back than most of the folk here, it would seem.
i find the moms fascinating, to be honest.
and everytime i’ve been to the teat lounge up on union, i’ve had zero problems. i think some people just like to complain.
i’m hungry. could use a bagel.
anybody know a place?
see…i told you, you had to play to win.
now you’re getting the hang of it…
next step…take the plunge and cut the umbilical cord….i know i know. baby steps. i’m sure this bantor between us has given your sense of risk quite a jolt today.
you deserve a nap.
momma doesn’t make you pay anything?
sweet deal!
you win.
