Zucker’s Bagels Is Expanding Its Empire And Opening Its Biggest Location Yet

Graphic by Angelie Zaslavsky
There’s nothing stopping Zucker’s from taking over New York City, the Bagel Capital of America.
According to a report by the New York Post, Zucker’s Bagels & Smoked Fish is opening a flagship in Flatiron, which will be Zucker’s fourth and largest eatery.
The eatery, which is 1,800-square-feet, will be located at 40 East 23rd street.
Zucker’s Bagels offers hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels that can be paired with the Acme Smoked Fish available on-site, and topped with classic shmear. But Zucker’s also offers some decidedly non-bagel options on the menu, including the instagram-favorite avocado toast.
The Zucker’s bagel empire includes its original location in TriBeCa, another one near Grand Central Station (the location is currently undergoing construction to build a 2,000-square-foot commissary kitchen) and a recently-opened spot on the Upper West Side which features an outdoor seating.
