The wait is over for fans of Ess-A-Bagel ... the owners have announced via Facebook an opening date for their new store at 324-326 First Ave. at East 19th Street in Stuy Town.
Not sure about an opening time — one wasn't listed with the post. (Will add store hours when they are available.)
There have been a few delays. February was the first opening date. Co-owner David Wilpon had said that the delay in opening had to do with obtaining numerous city permits to build out their new space.
Ess-a-Bagel closed its 40-year-old shop on First Avenue at East 21st Street in March 2015 following a landlord dispute.

As several commenters noted, Ess-A-Bagel had its soft opening yesterday... and they are open today from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m.
I went by just after 8 and there were 16 people in line. (I did not stay....)

They are open right now!!!
What?? Hooray! Make extra sesame, Ess-A!
Finally some good news.
And yet..? Will they taste the same? The ones uptown were never as good as 2nd Ave...
The one I had yesterday was pretty good!
I hope this doesn't hurt the much better David's Bagels.
Ess-A-Bagel. Original OG of NYC bagels. Everybody else step off. Glad you're back in the hood. Can't wait!!
