I would bear that woman’s children ….

Apparently some Japanese do not know what they are signing up for:

I am gutted:

At 80th Street and Broadway, the sign is already gone but the aroma of freshly baked bagels still lingers.

Inhale it fast, Upper West Siders, because this is it: H & H Bagels, a Sunday stalwart for generations, will close Wednesday.

There is no explanation posted at the store, just a sign that says “Welcome to Visit Our Store at 639 West 46th Street,” which is where the company’s baking plant is also located. Both will continue to operate, store employees said.

At this point, I believe bagels warm from the oven no longer exist on the Upper West Side. This is truly tragic. Wherever shall I go? What shall I do?
