New Bagel Place by Ditmars Station

[JeffE93]

There are now signs up for hiring and that they will open soon

Ditmars Bagel Manager:  Well, Johnny, you've aced the interview.  We'd love to hire you
Johnny:  Great!  When do i start?
Ditmars Bagel Manager:  at some indeterminable point in the far distant future.

crickets.. crickets.. crickets..

This really isn't fair to people who are seriously looking for a job. That sign that says Now Hiring has been up there for a long time now

[The Greek]

Saw the lights turned on in there for the first time in months.


The place looks finished but it remains dormant. Must be some issue holding it back - building problem maybe?


Hopefully they finally open something here. It's a shame it's just an empty storefront.

I know for a fact that it can take many months to get ConEd hooked up...it could be that.

[braun]

I have never seen the lights on in there before so hopefully that's a good sign that they will open soon.

[braun]

I really don't think this place will ever open.  It must be some kind of scam.  I think they've had those opening soon signs there since last summer

[braun]

As I was walking by this morning I noticed that they put small tables in the front so maybe they will be opening soon.  Who knows

[Eamonn]

Oh goodie. We can always use more bagel places...I find Brooklyn Bagel to be overrated

[braun]

And Brooklyn Bagel always has a long line to get in

Greetings ~


New York Bagel & Coffee House (gets crowded too) on 23rd Ave around 29th Street (be warned, the regular size bagel is huge). 
I believe there's Astoria Bagel on Ditmars on 28th St.


C'iao for now ~ enjoy!

These both are my go to places depending on my mood as they offer very different atmospheres.  Both have very good bagels and spreads.  I agree with the comment above - Brooklyn Bagel is highly overrated.  I even like the Bagel House on Ditmars diagonal from 60 Beans.  If you're looking for extra fancy coffee options, exotic food items, and a trendy vibe, then these three places are not for you.  Well, New York Bagel House has all that, but I think is still pretty down to earth.

I like the dog water bowls outside of New York Bagel House that say "Regular" and "Decaf"

Hey, we're coming up on the one year anniversary of this post.   My money is on this place still not open a year after the original post.

[wannabehippie]

Door was open this AM, guy (I am guessing the owner/manager) was inside talking to a group of younger people. Looks to be gettign close to finally opening.

HAPPY ONE YEAR ANNIVERSARY to this post.   The Ditmars Bagel Place by Ditmars Station sure looked closed this morning.

Seriously, I'd like this place to open now that we've hit this benchmark.
