Skip to main content Current eater city: New York
After 11 years, Baz Bagel, located at 181 Grand Street, at Mulberry Street, in Little Italy, is bowing out. An announcement went up on Instagram this week: The last day is June 22. Owner Bari Musacchio confirmed the news to Eater, adding that she had previously lived above the restaurant, but after 20 years in the neighborhood, she had moved on and it felt like a 'natural time' to do the same with her business. She has passed the keys to an uptown bagel operator, to be announced soon. 'We knew bagels would continue to thrive on Grand Street, so finding the right operator was key — especially one that could keep our amazing staff on board,' she says. 'We're incredibly proud that our small neighborhood shop made its way into some of NYC's biggest moments — whether it was serving the Knicks, Liberty, Rangers, being part of WWHL, Fleet Week, or collaborating on so many iconic events over the years.'
