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.
