Door is wide open with no screens so the place is FULL of flies feasting on all the food - gross, but I haven't eaten all day and was so hungry. She doesn't say hello, though she gave me a look when I entered, so I'm waiting for her to acknowledge me while she wraps up food to get ready to close. I finally have to say hello to her she just looks doesn't answer, clearly I'm a bother. I said hi do you have any egg everything left - she replies 'we have what's out there' - thanks SO friendly! I said ok I'll have a egg bagel with tuna salad 'we have no tuna' ok I'll have a egg bagel with turkey, she said I don't know if he is still slicing meats. I said oh sorry, I thought you were open till three.. she walks in the back - I guess whoever 'he' was, was indeed still slicing meat she came back and rang up the sandwich - I live down the block..I open a hard crusty, old bagel with turkey - I'm most definitely a NY Bagel snob but I can suck up a crappy bagel if need be but this was so hard I might break a veneer - no thanks, I ended up throwing the bagel out and just ate some turkey.. Trust me, I don't make up reviews, don't waste your money - there are so many better places that WANT your business. The only reason I gave two stars is that 'he' sliced the turkey for me and it was not skimpy so I was able to eat some turkey.
