Bagel Store at Fourth & 11th

Back in 2012, the guys at Danny's Rim & Tires downsized, and talked of plans to rent out the corner space at Fourth & 11th.  Though there was pressure to sell to developers, they were planning on staying put, albeit in a smaller space.  Happily, though the condo boom continues on the avenue (with a huge building coming right across 11th), Danny's is still around.  I don't know how seriously the rental plans were moved along, but anyway, the place stayed empty for over a year.  This morning I saw tell-tale brown paper and permits up on the windows, and enquiring at Danny's after work, found out that there'll be a bagel store there soon.  This will be a useful addition, and a pretty smart idea for the location, with the subway station so close .  If the bagels are any good, I know I'll stop in on my way to the train.  The perfect deal would be a Bagel Hole II, bringing the city's finest bagels & bialys to Fourth, though this is merely fantasy.  At least let them not be fat, doughy, oversized affairs.
