Not sure how many people have frequented A&S Bagels, a 24/7 bagel place out on Long Island that, in my opinion, made the best bagels in the world. I spent many a late night and early morning at A&S when I lived in NY. the last bagel I ate there was the day before Thanksgiving. there was an oven fire two nights ago and the place burned down.

RIP A&S 1985-2007
Insurance is a great thing. They'll be back up soon, better than ever.
