Henry Higgins was one of the operations that opened after the 2011 sale of Kettleman Bagels.  Until 7 months ago it operated as a weekend pop-up first in NE off Sandy/52nd, and then in inner SE at Ash/5th.   Though the bagels were satisfying, the tiny spaces weren’t conducive to hanging out.

Seven months ago HH opened a daily operation – 6:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. – on SE Foster, and we’re glad to report it felt bustling, and the bagels still tasted great on this chilly, dry Sunday morning.  However, though bright and airy with old-time deli cases, this facility is not a great place to hang out in as the number of seats&tables are limited, and could be more comfortable.

But that didn’t  stop us from having a long and fruitful discussion.  Topics today included D and his son trying to get into one of the city’s three Packers bars – Saraveza – at 12:30 for today’s 1:30 game, and the team’s playoff status; what each of the three of us received for the holidays – a subwoofer, alcohol, a nutri-bullet;  the wonders of modern hearing aids; the wonders of wireless audio speakers;
