RIP to one of the greats.

Damn it. Wish I would’ve had one last sausage egg and cheese on an everything bagel.

OMG NOOOOO

If true that really sucks.

Bagel is always subjective, but these guys were undoubtedly in the S tier of bagel shops. They were a perfect example of what makes NYC great, a Thai immigrant coming to the US and opening a business based on a Jewish baked good. What a city.

Fond memories of waiting in line for 2 hours on a Saturday to get one

Goddamn! Huge loss…best lox bagel in the city 🙁
SpeciousPerspicacity
I’m genuinely curious how this is possible with a place like that.

NOOOOOOOO! My only comfort is that I started working within walking distance this past year and got them on a frequent basis. Before that, it was only a rare treat when I made the trek from Brooklyn. I am devastated.

Suspiciously sudden. Could this be related to a deeper issue?
yahimonhere
Nooo. Leaving for a trip to NYC in a couple of days and was so looking forward to another Absolute Bagel (or two). Was one of the best.
thank you Reddit for saving me a trip way uptown tho…😞

This is mad depressing. One of the first places I was told to visit when I moved to the UWS/MH area.

NOOOOOOOOO
I’m genuinely devastated. Hands down my fave bagels ever. Even their whole wheat had good crust. Glad I got a hat from them, I’ll treasure it forever, along with my memories of getting up early to beat the line and eating their delicious bagels before work.

Been going here basically since I was born. If anyone knows how to get in contact with the owner or any of the current employees please let me know. I’d love to speak to them about finding a way to keep this place open.

Genuinely heartbreaking development. Fuck.

That’s so sad. I always stopped by when I was uptown.

Devastating news. Husband went last weekend and we have 9 in the freezer and my god they’re going to feel so precious to eat 🙁

I’ll never eat a bagel again

The best egg bagel cream cheese, hands down. NOOOOOOOOO 😭

I have long feared that our city would reach the point that there were no amount of bagels that could be produced on Broadway to support a successful business. They could not have produced a better product or sold more of them. Unless the owners are sailing into the sunset of their own free will, this is an indictment of our city and society in general. To the barricades!!

I HAVE A THEORY THAT WHEN THE GROCERY STORE CLOSED AND THE LINE WENT THE OPPOSITE WAY, IT UPSET THE UNIVERSE. WE DID THIS. I FEEL IT IN MY BONES.
YES, I KNOW I’M YELLING BUT I DON’T KNOW HOW ELSE TO COPE.

Absolute bagels was a part of our morning routine 2-3 days per week. Get up early, walk over, purchase 2 plain with cream cheese, two coffees, and sit at the park with my wife enjoying the quiet and all that deliciousness. We are going to miss this place.
It’s a real blow after the closure of Lenny’s Bagels.
