West Side Rag reports 2788 Bagels (formerly Absolute Bagels) maintains a persistent customer queue, with a manager telling the outlet, 'Many people complain to me on the weekend, they want to just get a dozen or just three or four bagels, but it's a long line.' Lines historically formed on the north side of the shop but shifted south after nearby store closures.
