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?

my “old lady” passed away last year.
thanks, though.
The poor anti-ay folks (yes, you 12:07) They are so, so sad and desperate.
I can’t wait till the day when the rents on 5th avenue are chopped to 1/5th. then i’ll be able to buy that brownstone for 30K too…
12:07 disgusts me.
but at least i learned today that madison square is in manhattan.
i think more than smiling, 12:07 needs to get laid. sounds like it’s been a while.
12:07, please smile and 11:31. Buy each other a bagel. They are delicious. Maybe you can split one, and then kiss each other once you’re done eating.
11:31 please find a way to smile today 🙂 A.R.E.N.A. Bagels loves you.
I think that the AY folks are implying that the construction of AY will devalue American currency to such an extent that we’ll need to use wheelbarrows full of cash to purchase a bagel.
if it were named DeBagel Don’t Destroy I would DEFINITELY go there!
the arguement about the rent going down is ludicrous. he/she is beyond ignorant and not even worth these responses because i am quite certain the area around madison square aint’ cheap.
dumbass.
