Here’s one from the Brooklynian grape vine about a possible retail development that is both fascinating and tantalizing: a bagel shop may be coming to the one un-rented space where D’Agostino’s had been on Seventh Avenue. The rest of the space has been taken, of course, by Bank of America and Five Guys Burgers. Here’s the word from chaplin’smom: “my bf was in La bagel Delight on 7th (and 5th) and he said all the guys there were complaining as they had heard that A BAGEL PLACE was going up in the new/old d’agnostino’s place. they supposedly went on to bemoan how ‘there’s no more respect’ in the world as why would someone want to put up a bagel place less than 3 blocks away from another?!? sadly ONE of them won’t last…” If it’s true it only means one thing: A Seventh Avenue Bagel War, the La Bagel Delight Everything vs. the Newcomer Poppy. Stay tuned for the decisive Battle of the Bialys.

The true winner of the Seventh Avenue Bagel War is Bagel Hole a little further south.

I don’t care if La Bagel Delite has been in Park Slope since before the Dutch were. Their bagels blow. Overinflated, puffy, squishy, glorified hamburger rolls. They’re nice guys, though, I’ll give them that.

Boy, this must have been a very quiet day for news.

The guys in La Bagel Delight rock so totally that any newcomer should (if there is justice in the world) wither and die on the vine.
