Former H & H Bagel

Former H and H Bagel

Many Upper West Siders were saddened this past June when the famous H & H Bagels closed it's doors after almost 40 years on the Upper West Side. The store was closed down by the tax man. The owner was indicted on tax fraud charges.
DNAinfo reported a Bagel company from Queens had hoped to take over the space, but the landlord is asking approximately $450 per square foot, which wss too epensive. Apparently H&H owed over $300,000 in rent.

A spokesperson for the Queens bagel company said opening in the former H&H space would signal that "the mantel was being passed," but he was told by Friedland "they really wanted a bank."

Today was the final nail for H&H Bagels. The Daily News reported a city marshal seized the last remaining location of H & H Bagels. The 46th Street space will now be turned over to the landlord, and the shop is closed for business. The famed bakery filed for bankruptcy protection last summer, in October, a judge ruled to allow the eviction proceedings to move forward.

After the Upper West Side retail store and New Jersey plant closed the midtown store was sold at auction and seized today, H&H still has one plant with a small store left that sell wholesale and retail.The owner hopes to reopen the shop, perhaps at a new location on the Upper West Side.

Zabars and H&H Bagels

While saddened by the loss of H&H, there are still plenty of places to get a good bagel on the Upper West Side. They may not be as hot and gooey as H&H Bagels but Thank G-d for Zabars right across the street. Nobody does a bagel and lox breakfast special with coffee and fresh squeezed orange juice for $4.95 better than Zabars.

what is the history of your home? by Feng Shui NYC consultant Laura Cerrano

Knowing the history of your home can sometimes be the key to what events have been taking place since moving in. A Feng Shui consultant will ask about the history of the home because they understand the importance of the energetic blue print that is left behind. Ms. Cerrano experienced incidences at friends NYC apartment that indicates it needs to be cleared without the owner saying a word.

Two incidents accord after entering into the apartment. One was during a house warming party and the other during a birthday celebration. The first incident was mid-way through the party. As family and friends gathered the apartment obviously became a bit more crowded. Ms. Cerrano's friend owned a dog and at first it did not mind the all the attention but, after a while became agitated and unfortunately took some of its frustration out on Ms.Cerrano and another friend.

The second incident was while Ms. Cerrano was sitting outside the apartment during the birthday celebration. She sat outside to talk with friends, felt something land on her leg, went to brush it away and OUCH! Got stung by a wasp...at night! After that distribution, Ms. Cerrano began to think. What is going on with this apartment that every time she comes to visit, something negative happens.

After being stung Ms. Cerrano left the party early. As she exited the apartment, she turned to shut the door and noticed the room number, number 4. According to Feng Shui that is not the most auspicious number to be connected with, though there are cures and other ways to offset it.

Later in the week after the second incident, Ms. Cerrano investigated and asked other friends about what history they knew of with the NYC apartment. She was informed the interior was completely renovated and that the previous occupant may have passed away there. Every home, apartment, and business, especially under those conditions needs to have a space clearing. Ms. Cerrano needs to understand the history in more detail and will continue to research.
