New York’s famed H&H bagel joint closes ... JPost - International
Curious passersby paused on Sunday morning outside the vacant store where the famed H&H Bagels once stood, peeking through the tainted windows of the former bakery that until just recently had attracted lovers of the ovalshaped bread from near and far.
“Whoa, I can’t believe it,” said Michael Blumenthal, a New Jersey native who hadn’t heard the news that the establishment had shuttered earlier in the week. “It’s an institution. I used to love coming to this place. I tried to bring my friend here today and it’s closed.”

The deterioration of New York's bagels – and those of everywhere else, come to that – is an inevitable consequence of their modern popularity. Mechanisation, freezers and food scientists are the enemies of flavour and heritage. Eastern European émigrés, often Jewish, brought bagel-making to New York in the late 1800s. For most of the 20th century the heavily unionised bakers turned production of the bread into a cartel – the main advantage of which, by common consent, was that quality remained high. Proper bagels are difficult to do well.

What do cops think about National Doughnut Day? | montoya, doughnut, day - News - The Orange County Register
What do cops think about National Doughnut Day?
Where doughnuts were once a common staple at the Newport Beach Police briefing room, they are now relics. A less sugary, healthier snack is now available for the uniformed officers.
"It's bagels now," said Newport Beach Police Sgt. Chuck Freeman. "It's a generational thing."
California Highway Patrol officer Gabe Montoya said he was unaware of the holiday as he was eating his egg and chorizo breakfast burrito Friday morning.
"The last time I had a doughnut was around Christmastime," Montoya said, adding that he'll take a bagel over a doughnut any day.
"Nobody notices that there are a lot of cops at the bagel shops," Montoya added. "Nothing better than a bagel out of the oven."
