    They had a kitchen fire and were "reopening soon". They'll be missed, especially for the early morning convenience (at least Pre-COVID).
    Also for their seating without the whole ch watching you eat.
    Any places like that left?

    Heard that bunch bagels is closing for good
    Fake news.

    They had a kitchen fire and were "reopening soon".
    I walk by there all the time and I often see people/activity there. They claim (at least as of a week or two ago) that they're actively working towards reopening. FWIU the biggest obstacle has been some issue with permits or something like that.
