Since 1921, New York
Bagel has been a Detroit family owned business.
My grandfather,
Morris Goldsmith, along with two other Eastern
European immigrants, took over an existing bagel
shop in Detroit.
He renamed the store "New York Bagel" since bagels
were introduced
into
the United
States in New York City. Morris eventually became
the sole proprietor. Shortly after, my father
Harvey joined him. In the 1960's, when bagel production
became automated, New York Bagel opened its first
suburban Detroit store in Oak Park. Others followed
in Ferndale, Southfield and West Bloomfield. I
joined New York Bagel in 1987. |
