However, this establishment is unrelated to the original owners, sparking confusion among loyal patrons. Broker Rafe Evans aims to maintain the legacy of a bagel shop in the area, but admits the new owners lack the recognition of the previous family. He expresses surprise at their choice of the name, suggesting it may not be their final choice.
While the goal of keeping it a space for New Yorkers to get their beloved bagels was a success, Evans told the outlet this week that the new owners have no connection to the Thongkrieng family and are "not household names".
Rafe Evans commented on the naming choices for the new bagel shop, expressing surprise at the use of the name 'New Absolute Bagels,' suggesting it could be a placeholder.
