14th Street outpost of Bagel Boss likely closed through the end of the year

The Bagel Boss at 238 E. 14th St. has not been open in recent days... and passersby note that the display cases are empty — a surprising discovery given that this outpost between Second Avenue and Third Avenue just opened in late July. 

According to a message to EVG from Bagel Boss: "The location is temporarily closed due to gas and electric problems. We hope to open back up before the end of December!"

Bagel Boss, founded in 1975, has 15-plus locations in NYC and on Long Island. A location at 55 E. Houston St. (at Mott) also recently debuted.
