About Ess-a-Bagel
Ess-a-Bagel was established in 1976 by Florence and Gene Wilpon and Florence’s brother Aaron Wenzelberg. Coming from an Austrian baking family, the art of baking or crafting the perfect bagel came naturally to them. Within two years of opening, Ess-a-Bagel was voted #1 in the Tri-State area and had attracted a loyal following. In 2013, Florence passed away. Her sister Muriel Frost and her niece Melanie Frost took over the operation.
Florence always had a passion for the bagel business. It was her baby, and she nurtured and grew it with the same ingredient that continues to set Ess-a-Bagel apart today: A LOT OF LOVE! Ess-a-Bagel continues to provide hungry New Yorkers with the city’s best bagel. Hand rolled, boiled and baked on premises daily, our delicious crunchy on the outside and chewy on the inside bagel is the quintessential New York Bagel.
