"Originally a pop-up, now a chain with a unique policy requiring a minimum purchase of three bagels plus schmear. Known for keeping lines moving on weekends."
"On Saturday, September 7 at 1 p.m., PopUp Bagels (338 Columbus Avenue at West 76th Street) will be selling bagel ice cream sandwiches as part of Salt & Straw’s Upper West Side pop-up weekend." - Melissa McCart
"I note that PopUp Bagels serves bagels meant to be ripped and dipped and has continued growing with locations in Greenwich Village, the Upper West Side, Massachusetts, Connecticut, and Long Island; the team has announced expansion to Williamsburg but has not yet revealed an address." - Emma Orlow
"These blockbuster bagels (originally from Connecticut) now have a second brick-and-mortar operation on the Upper West Side. Now you can rip-and-dip your bagel—or three, which is the minimum order—into one of their cream cheeses right near the Museum of Natural History. You can probably expect a line on weekends." - will hartman
"Opened on Sunday at 338 Columbus Avenue and West 76th Street, Popup Bagels — backed by Paul Rudd and Michael Phelps — is the chain’s second New York City location and its seventh overall. Founder Adam Goldberg opened the first location in 2021 in Westport, Connecticut, and the brand plans another Manhattan site at 1457 Third Avenue near East 82nd Street as it aims for 25 locations by the end of 2025 and eventually as many as 200 stores." - Luke Fortney
