The sudden closing of Absolute Bagels shocked the community, drawing heartfelt reactions on social media as it was known as a premier bagel destination in Manhattan.
Broker Rafe Evans remarked that the closure was 'out of the blue,' and described it as a significant surprise for the Upper West Side community.
Just two days prior to the closure, Absolute Bagels failed a Health Department inspection due to unsanitary conditions, which typically wouldn’t lead to permanent closures in NYC.
Despite the surprise closure, there's hope for the future of the location as Evans noted strong interest from other bagel operators seeking to take over the space.
