Bagel Store on Washington @ Prospect Place ?!

why hasn't a bagel store opened on Washington ---- towards Eastern Parkway?

It would be a goldmine.

There is one near Clinton Hill but that doesn't count.

I know it is cruel putting "Bagel Store on Washington " on the Subject... because you clicked on it--- because you want one too.

I love that Pulp and Bean has bagels at Franklin and Eastern Parkway...

I would open said bagel store in the the vacant video store next to 3D's Carib Food.

...you know, the storefront with the ancient VCR tapes in front of it, near Thiftway.

I vote Washington & St. Johns at the Corner --- http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=washington+avenue&sll=40.670779,-73.956938&sspn=0.009374,0.019526&ie=UTF8&cd=1&radius=0.51&rq=1&ev=zo&hq=washington+avenue&hnear=&ll=40.673673,-73.962965&spn=0,359.980474&t=h&z=15&layer=c&cbll=40.673781,-73.962994&panoid=qcKGs23GpDfUlI8R4YBksg&cbp=12,264.79,,0,-0.6

well, washington bagel cafe (the one i think you mean, on washington & bergen, nearer to atlantic than e.pkwy) delivers... so there's always that. and they're super sweet. i stop in on my way to work in the a.m. most days.

but i do agree that if there were a bagel spot on washington and say, st johns? goldmine.

Ask and ye shall receive?
I just wrote to Bagel Boss and asked thm to open up shop in Brooklyn

Hey.... I would rather have a mom and pop than a franchise.... but i wouldn't know who to write! (and Bagel Boss ain't half bad).

They're ok (I was at the E Village branch today), but they're no Bagel Hole.

well if we are throwing around favorite brooklyn bagel eateries---
Bagel Store Williamsburg

another good site for it would be the vacant building to the left of Love Liquors (the one with Capt Morgan in front of it).

It was gutted in prep for a remodel, but has now been simply vacant for almost a year.

It's funny that we use "Captain Morgan" as a Landmark.

Whenever I give my visitors directions, I use Capt. Morgan....
who else can say they do that!?

Wondering if we would have enough signatures for a "Bageless in Brooklyn" ePetition to make it worthwhile

Well, then, why bother? :-)

I can respect that. She knows what she likes. And she likes the good stuff.

closer to home, i think terrace now has a branch in new jersey. certainly they could be persuaded to open one in ph.

btw, it's not washington but there's a rumor on another thread that a bagel place is going in at vanderbilt and prospect. if anyone finds out anything concrete, please open a new thread.

Super sweet, but can't make a bagel for shit.

Yes, and I'm going to tell you all exactly what I like about Bagel Hole: small and chewy.

I think a Bagel and Coffee place is planing on opening at the corner of Prospect Pl. and Washington.

At the Old Crown Fried Chicken Location?

About a block too far in from Eastern Parkway than I would like... but doable!

Yup, some work has been started at the place so I hope it will work out.

There is a ratio of chewy to crispy.
Chewy on the inside--- yes---
but need just the right amount of crispy on the outside

but it's all about the water apparently

Yes, that is why smaller bagels (like Bagel Hole, or the mini bagels at Terrace) are better. Better ratio of crispy to chewy.

No argument there.
