New bagel shop to open in former Absolute Bagels location on Upper West Side

Yahoo17-04-2025

UPPER WEST SIDE, Manhattan (PIX11) — A new bagel shop on Manhattan's Upper West Side is in the works. It's set to replace an iconic business that had been there for nearly 40 years.
A steady stream of Upper West Siders walked past the new signage outside the former location for Absolute Bagels with curiosity on Wednesday. Many neighbors say the closure in December left a hole in the community.

'Best bagel in New York City,' said Upper West Side resident Mark Fleischman.
Upper West Side resident Abraham Alvarez said, 'The taste, it had a bit of sweetness, some sourness. A little expensive, but a good size. They were good.'
A place so beloved, many customers said they were willing to overlook the slew of health violations the business received from the city before it closed.

When asked if he was OK with the violations, Alvarez said, 'I did want them to [stay open]. I would check my bagel for bugs.'
Fleischman said, 'The health violations were pretty grim, but I was totally fine with it. If they'd kept on making bagels, I would have totally been OK with it.'
That's why many people are happy to hear a new bagel shop is opening. But there's a catch. The original business is not back.
Rafe Evans is with Walker, Malloy & Company, the broker for the building. Last week, he signed a new lease for the commercial space with new tenants.
Evans said the new business owners are a group that already owns a few bagel shops in New York and New Jersey.
'They are going to rebuild it from scratch. They need everything. Floors, walls, ceilings, the works,' Evans said. 'We were surprised to see they're calling themselves the new Absolute Bagels. We do get why they're doing that.'
Evans said the new owners have no connection to the family that owned the previous business for 36 years. He doesn't believe the recipes will be similar either.
'Sam, the former owner, was asked if he wanted to sell his recipes, and he said anyone can make a bagel,' Evans said.
Regardless, locals said they are excited that there is new life coming to the area.
'The cyclical nature of economic opportunity in New York is pretty much a staple. There's always something opening and closing. When one thing closes, another opens,' one man said.
Fleischman said, 'We'll see. If it's anything like Absolute, they'll have my business.'
PIX11 News reached out to the new owners of the bagel shop. The group did not want to comment right now, but we're told renovations should take several months.
PIX11 also reached out to the original owners of Absolute Bagels but has yet to hear back.

Nicola Mining Receives Multi-Year Area Based Exploration Permit for Its Mine-Permitted Treasure Mountain Silver Project

Vancouver, British Columbia--(Newsfile Corp. - June 9, 2025) - Nicola Mining Inc. (TSX: NIM) (OTCQB: HUSIF) (FSE: HLIA) (the "Company" or "Nicola") is pleased to announce that it has received a multi-year area-based exploration permit, Permit Number MX-15-121 (the "MYAB Permit") on June 4th, 2025. The MYAB Permit allows Nicola to conduct extensive exploration on its wholly owned Treasure Mountain Silver Project1 (the "Treasure Mountain"), a fully permitted silver mine (Permit 239) located 30 km northeast of Hope and about a 3-hour drive from Vancouver, British Columbia (Fig. 1). Figure 1. Treasure Mountain locationTo view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Receipt of the MYAB Permit, follows the Company's August 30th, 2024, announcement that it had received a ten-year mining lease extension (the "Extension") for Treasure Mountain2 under its M-239 permit. The Extension is valid through April 26, 2032, and receipt of the MYAB Permit positions the Company to leverage both mining and exploration options. Treasure Mountain consists of an historic underground silver mine with a resource estimate in accordance with CIM definition standards3 and exploration upside to the north and west of the historic mine. The MB Zone is approximately 800 m northwest of the current mine workings on undrilled northern flank of the mountain. The Cal Vein was discovered at this location in 2010 and return a surface sample grading as high as 9,221g/t Ag, 1.02% Cu, 1.14% Pb and 1.03% Zn4. Subsequent soil sampling was conducted in 2011/2012 and 2013 with encouraging results.5 Small exploration programs conducted between 2019 and 2021 on the northwestern side of the mountain included soil sampling, rock sampling, mapping, and shallow drilling campaigns. These programs successfully identified a 2 km soil anomaly which appears to be related to a vein system of roughly the same strike length. Drill testing of the exposed vein confirmed continuity of mineralization coincidental with the soil anomaly.6 The MYAB Permit allows the Company to carry out the following exploration activities over the next five years in the areas shown below (Fig. 2): 30 drill holes 1,400 m of trenching 4,500 m of trail building 20 km of geophysical surveys with exposed electrodes To view an enhanced version of this graphic, please visit: Figure 2. Site map with MYAB Permit boundaries Peter Espig, CEO of Nicola Mining Inc., commented, "Receipt of the MYAB under Permit Number MX-15-121 coupled with our recently received ten-year mine life extension under Permit M-239, puts Nicola into an envious position as the confluence of mine and exploration potential brings forth a project that most investors have forgotten. Bolstered by solid silver prices and with permits in hand, we are very excited about its potential and look forward to exploring our Treasure Mountain Project for the first time in over a decade" Qualified PersonWilliam Whitty, P.
