Zucker’s Bagels opens a new location in the Flatiron District.

Owner Matt Pomerantz – who also co-founded Murray’s Bagels – opened his humble bakery Zucker’s Bagels in Tribeca 12 years ago, not knowing the bagel shop would become a staple in multiple neighbourhoods in New York. The Flatiron District is the next new home for Zucker’s Bagels.

The Spot:

Designed by architect Ricardo Zurita – known for his work in the urban park at One Penn Plaza – the new Zucker’s blends an industrial design with warm elements, featuring sleek slighting and black tiles, as well as wooden furnishings and an exposed brick wall. While you might be inclined to order your bagel for on the go, Zucker’s offers plenty of seating options, including large communal tables and a counter by the window – a prime people-watching spot in this tourist-filled area.

The Food:

Zucker’s takes pride in offering hand-rolled bagels and fish from Acme – the new location is no exception. Besides the bagel shop’s usual offerings, Zucker’s brings several new menu items to the Flatiron District, including a bento-style lunch box with a bagel on the side and “everything seeded” smoked salmon. Smart move – this city can’t get enough of everything bagel seasoning; might as well sprinkle it on everything.

The Drinks:

Zucker’s offers coffee on draft from La Colombe.

The Damage:

Sandwiches cost around $8-$12.

In a Nutshell:

Located just steps away from Madison Square Park, the new Zucker’s is likely to catch people on their way to work as well as tourists looking for a New York staple (besides the nearby Shake Shack).
