I was delighted when I walked by Ditmars the other day and saw that a new bagel shop called Astoria's Finest Bagels is in the works. Keeping my eye on this place for quite some time, it looked ready about a month ago and since then not much progress has been made. Bummer. My guess is that they're waiting on a permit?
Anyway, the place looks promising and is centrally located, on Ditmars in between 32nd and 33rd street. Could be a good place to stop on your way to work for a cup of coffee and a bagel, of course. Even though my current favorite in the nabe is Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee Company (they have the best, fluffiest bagels in all of Queens, in my opinion), a new place could be great to mix it up a bit.
Shoot me a comment if you know more about Astoria's Finest Bagels and when it's finally going to open.

Cool - I'm excited for it to open too. Although I do love Brooklyn Bagel and think their stuff tastes awesome. It will be great to have another competitor in the mix though.
ReplyDeleteAstoria's Finest Bagels has yet to open. Its been months since renovating the space has completed and yet it still hasn't opened. I know getting permits takes some time, but certainly not this long.
ReplyDeleteCan you find out what's going on?
Yup - I'm on it!
