damnlines hasn't pointed a lens at Bagel Hole yet. The most-wanted lines get a camera first.
Bagel Hole is a small, no-frills counter on 7th Avenue in Park Slope known for dense, chewy, hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels in the old-school New York style — it doesn't toast them and there's no seating, so everything runs through a single register for grab-and-go orders. That combination of a tiny footprint and a loyal, long-running following is what produces a line at the door.
Reports describe the line stretching out the door on Sunday mornings in particular, with shorter waits — roughly 5 to 10 minutes — during weekday lunch that can run a bit longer on busy school/work days. Early morning, close to the 7am opening, is generally described as the best time to go for full bagel selection and the shortest wait.
