Coney Island Bialys & Bagels

It’s hot outside and our thoughts immediately went to the fantastic signage at Coney Island Bialys & Bagels. This family-owned shop & the oldest bialy shop in Brooklyn sadly closed in 2001 after 91 years in business due to the changing demographics of the neighborhood coupled with the rising costs of doing business. For those who are not aware of what a bialy is, they are chewy, flat, round rolls with a slightly depressed center containing onions or and unlike bagels have no sugar or malt.

Our photo of Coney Island Bialys & Bagels appears in our book “Store Front II- A History Preserved”.
