Broadway Bagels and More
Broadway Bagels and More is a recent addition to the neighborhood, opening October of last year. It’s still very clean and has yet to acquire a flavor of any kind from the neighborhood.
I spoke with AJ, the tired but pleasant manager at the Bagel shop. In his words, business is alright but it could be better — the neighborhood is still getting used to them being there. “They all say they never even knew we were here!”, he says, gesturing down Park toward the hospital and ensuing rows of housing buildings.
I arrived at an inconsiderate 5:55PM (they close at 6PM) and they had all but closed. Luckily, AJ was alright with making a bagel, telling me that soon they’re looking to be open until 9PM. While unclear on what business they’d attract, my understand was that they’d start to gain traction if they were open longer.
Still, it can be a bit expensive for the neighborhood. They’re selling the usual bougie-drink selection (MASH soda, three kinds of kombucha, Naked juices), the cooler taking up the entire back wall of the ordering area. They offer a six-dollar fresh juice special, various upscale treats, and three special breakfast platters.
The sandwiches, hot and cold of considerable variety, run from three-dollars for eggs on a biscuit to ten for the larger heroes. Better for certain, but I haven’t see all the sizes of sandwich. A failure on my part for sure, but I’m too much of a sucker for an everything bagel with cream cheese.
Which was alright. It came with more cream cheese than a bagel should — just fine by me. They’re a little flat compared to others in the area, but I’d wager they have more life in them closer to opening.
