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?

sorry, but not EVERYONE wants a guarantee. taking risks in life are quite fun for some of us. calculated risks, sometimes, but risks nonetheless.
then there are those that like everything to be planned out. i’m not one of them.
well no one should be taking real estate from anyone on this board, period.
buying, or not buying real estate is a very personal decision.
i do think, however that someone who says in any capacity that they want a guarantee to win ANYTHING is misguided.
real estate or not.
are the bagels at La Bagel Delite in PS any better than the ones at La Bagel Delite in Ft Greene on Lafayette? because the latter are also like giant rolls with a hole in the middle. Yuck! Still waiting for decent bagels to arrive in Ft Greene.
A.R.E.A. obviously stands for “Anti-Ratner, Eat Anyway.” And my bagelvote goes to both La Bagel Delite places in the Slope (opp. John Jay HS and next to Citibank), not just for great bagels but for the priceless badabing service. Ditto for Terrace Bagels in WT, where the cops and firemen always make for great guy-watching and Bklyn-style eavesdropping…
i’m sorry the owner felt pressured to change the sign and think DDDB should cover the costs.
there are very few guarantees in life.
if you live by that motto, you’re not gonna get much out of life, in my opinion.
12:21/12:39 claims to have had sex with a dead woman, has no sympathy for the victim’s surviving husband, but thinks we should all trust him on real estate matters.
you gotta play to win, bro.
“just give it a few years”
if i had a dime for every…..
oh right, i’d still be poor shitting my money away to my landlord…
glad i decided to buy something.
