Bagels returning to Detroit's Core City: Ann Arbor's Bev's Bagels to open
A popular Ann Arbor area bagel pop-up with a loyal following is bringing its sourdough bagels and sandwiches to a permanent home in Detroit's Core City neighborhood.
Bev's Bagels from Huntington Woods native and award-winning chef Max Sussman is filling the space that housed the former and beloved Detroit Institute of Bagels (DIB).
Sussman's wildly popular pop-up, named after his grandmother and paying homage to his family roots, is his take on Jewish bagel traditions.
A late spring opening in the former DIB space is planned, according to a news release, with a focus on organic sourdough bagels and bagel sandwiches. Detroit Institute of Bagels, commonly known as DIB, abruptly shuttered last July. The beloved DIB took over the space of Ochre bakery, another previous Core City favorite.
While Sussman is opening a brick-and-mortar in Core City, Ann Arbor pop-up followers need not worry. Sussman plans to continue the Ann Arbor pop-ups once the Detroit spot opens.
In Core City, expect Bev's Bagels sandwiches to use carefully sourced ingredients such as wild-smoked salmon and ethically raised meat.
"Making bagels is a huge passion of mine and I'm so excited to offer really great bagels to Detroit,' Sussman says. 'Opening in Core City feels like an incredible opportunity to build on something that was so special to the community and still so needed.'
Chewy and crisp are what Bev's Bagels signature bagels are noted for, but the bagel sandwiches will also be the highlight in Core City. According to a news release, Sussman's bagels start with a sourdough starter paired with organic flour and some whole grains.
In Core City, Bev's Bagels will offer creative schmears, bagel sandwiches with carefully sourced ingredients, bagels-to-go, coffee and other specialties daily.
'I'm pretty obsessive over the details, so the sandwiches will all have these amazing components, from creative schmears to wild smoked fish to ethically sourced meats,' Sussman said.
The Core City location also plans to offer menu options designed for catering small and large gatherings.
Bev's Bagels began in 2023 out of Sussman's house and has since attracted a cult-like following. More recently, the pop-up has been taking place at the Argus Café on Packard in Ann Arbor.
Sussman is a cookbook author along with his brother, Eli, and is known for his work in New York's culinary scene at Roberta's and The Breslin. In 2012, Sussman was named a semifinalist for a James Beard Award Rising Star Chef of the Year in New York.

Ultra-Orthodox protesters launch feces, vandalize home of real estate CEO
Individuals rioted outside the homes of the CEO and VP of Aura real estate in protest of a new project in Yehud, which they claim would take place on top of graves. About one hundred extreme ultra-Orthodox individuals demonstrated violently outside the home of Yaakov Ataracchi, CEO and owner of Aura, one of Israel's largest real estate companies, on Thursday night. The rioters organized transportation from Beit Shemesh and Jerusalem, aiming to force Ataracchi and his company to end their work on a demolition-rebuilding project in Yehud, which they have claimed is taking place on top of graves. According to the company, this is a legal and approved project carried out with the guidance of the Antiquities Authority. The rioters broke the gate to the house, smashed the intercom, caused damage to the yard and property, vandalized equipment, and threw bags of excrement at the house and the family members. The police, who were aware of the threat in advance and even updated the family, did not arrest any protesters. According to sources close to the family, the police called Ataracchi's wife, informed her of the demonstration, and asked if the family had private security, as they would not be able to assist with their forces. After the event in Tel Aviv, the rioters proceeded to the home of Hod Betzer, the company's VP, in Elkana, where they repeated the same pattern of breaking, vandalizing, and threatening. The company has warned of a severe escalation: just last week, the graves of the CEO's parents were vandalized, and now the extremists have moved to direct violence against private homes. According to the company, these are extremist fringe groups, some of which are known, taking advantage of their police protection while spreading disinformation about non-existent graves in an attempt to intimidate and extort developers. According to the executives, the project in Yehud involves the demolition of ten old buildings and the construction of 444 new residential units, commercial spaces, and public buildings, and it is being carried out in accordance with all regulations, with no findings of Jewish graves. "Aura will not yield to threats. This is not a protest – it is an organized attack. If we didn't have security guards, this would have ended in a disaster. I call on the police to act with full severity," Ataracchi responded.

Harvard amps up federal lobbying spending as Trump admin attacks intensify
In the first few months of 2025, Harvard University jumped in federal lobbying spending, amounting to $230,000, according to a lobbying report. The increase — $100,000 more than during the same time period last year — is the highest quarterly total since 2008, which amounted to $235,000. The lobbying so far in 2025 focused on higher education and student aid issues such as student loans and repayment programs, the federal financial aid form, campus climate, immigration issues and college and university endowments, among other topics. A Harvard spokesperson didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Last year, Harvard's initial report for the year was $130,000. The expenditure reporting occurs from January to March, which precedes many of the federal government's attacks on Harvard. Those intensified in April. The federal government has focused on freezing and pulling billions of dollars in funding away from the institution, launching investigations into the institution and attempting to revoke its ability to enroll international students.
