I've been to Cone...This is truly very sad news. I've been to Coney Island Bialys a few times when I was a young kid, with my dad, as well as Kossar's, and one other that was closer to where I lived yeras ago, in Bayside on Bell. Blvd., and all three made gorgeous, beautiful, delicious bialys (and bagels too, of course).<br /><br />It's very upsetting to me that this is happening everywhere...big corporations and soulless superstores are overtaking, if not destroying these wonderful and very special and culturally significant shops, cafes, bakeries and the like. <br /><br />What Bloomberg is doing to Coney Island in itself is a disgrace, and now this sad news.<br /><br />I'm so, so sorry to see this great bagel and bialy shop close. I wish Mr. Ross all the best for the future, but more than that, I sincerely wish there were some way he could keep Coney Island Bialys and Bagels open.Greek Girl from Queensnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-89129202531154798122011-08-12T08:07:21.794-07:002011-08-12T08:07:21.794-07:00Wow.

I long ago left the neighborhood, but always remember in the mid-1960s my father driving us there late in the evening to pick up hot out of the oven bialys and onion boards. Few made it to morning, as we'd get out the butter and have them right then. I regret I didn't know they were still there and could have gone back for some.Extended Stayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05523483651614368136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21554899.post-35593113904616467562011-08-11T19:06:50.237-07:002011-08-11T19:06:50.237-07:00I've never tried them.
