"an imminent public health hazard."
"Honestly, I didn't really care about the health violations. I would've kept coming!"
"The egg bagel is pretty much like the original,"
"Two bagels a person. Don't ask for more!"
New Absolute Bagels reopened on the Upper West Side under new owner Kyung Mi Kim a year after the previous shop closed for health code violations. The prior closure followed 67 violations, including evidence of rats and live roaches, and the New York City Health Department deemed conditions "an imminent public health hazard." The reopened shop kept the same location, many original staff, original recipes, brown paper bags, and no website, while changing the name, decor, and ending a cash-only policy. Around 70 people lined up by opening on day two, customers praised the egg bagel, and bagels and coffee were free with a two-bagel-per-person limit.
