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?

This is the Times Square shuttle – takes you to Grand Central. Not only did they do the outside of the cars, they put decals on the inside.

Not that I whore things a lot (sounds of disbelief followed by naysaying …) but I need everyone’s help. My buddy Otis Harper needs every vote he can get to win his own sports talk show.  Go to www.wfan.com and scroll down about halfway – the voting column is on the right.  Vote Otis, vote often – I think you can go there tomorrow, and even Monday morning.  Please – this guy deserves this.
