More Bagels For 7th Avenue
Close to a year ago, Park Slope Farm opened up at 106 7th Avenue, much to the glee of nearby residents who were in need of a convenient and well-stocked bodega. Seems like things didn’t go as planned though: It’s already closed and boarded up, and although there are no signs out yet, the work…
Close to a year ago, Park Slope Farm opened up at 106 7th Avenue, much to the glee of nearby residents who were in need of a convenient and well-stocked bodega. Seems like things didn’t go as planned though: It’s already closed and boarded up, and although there are no signs out yet, the work order notice tells us the place is being remodeled into another bagel cafe. Pretty stiff competition, with the La Bagel Delight and the Bagel Hole further down 7th, don’t you think? GMAP
The bodega/fauxdega/whateva was in a building owned by one of the most rapacious landlords in the Slope so they were probably paying hella rent.
Also, for those craving a Bagel Hole baby but unwilling to bike or walk or gallop further south, D’vine Taste on 7th has (or at least used to–I haven’t kept current) a daily import from BH…
good one bb. i see you have no self-esteem issues, so you won’t be crushed when i suggest you have a reading comprehension issue. i wrote that a) i *don’t* do this daily and b) i ride a bike. sheesh. why don’t you pick on someone as good looking as you believe yourself to be. jk.
antidope spends all day walking around Park Slope looking for the perfect bagel and cup of coffee. The rest of us with lives don’t have that kind of time.
brooklynfits the only places that “toast” bagels are ones that don’t have piping hot bagels coming out of their oven all day long..ie crappy bagel places. Bagel Hole reins supreme!
Antidope, I don’t even own a bike. I’m usually with my dogs going to the park, so unless I have a sh*tload of time to walk, it’s the car.
Ok, so I lied. I drive from Bed Stuy when I have something else to do in Park Slope.
living where i do, i’m absolutely thrilled by the prospect of having to decide whether i turn left and walk half-a-block to get a bagle, or turn right and walk half a block to get a bagel.
that said, what other street in the slope.. in the city.. anywhere for that matter.. can claim what president street can:
— 2-banks
— 2-churches
— 2-schools
and now maybe:
— 2-bagel shops
right on, rh. however, i recommend the bike to bagel hole. and coffee somewhere, anywhere else. gorrilla coffee on 5th is good if you like low viscosity fuel like me.
I drive to Bagel Hole from Bed Stuy when I want a real bagel. That’s how good it is.
The problem with ALL bagel places is that they don’t serve good coffee! A good bagel plus a decent cup of coffee…now that would be something to compete with!
if i lived closer, i’d eat a bagel hole bagel everyday and gain 30 pounds so i’m glad it’s in south slope. but that doesn’t change the discussion, the other shops are not purveyors of bagels but rather disguised sandwich shops. period.
