Shocking Upper West Side bagel news.

Absolute Bagels is "closed for good," multiple employees said on Thursday.

The storefront is already shuttered.

Unclear the reasoning for the closure but it is not the health department.

“There are many problems. The owner is old.”

So excited to vote at @AMNH ! 🗳️

[Gus Saltonstall @GusSaltonstall]

For the first time, the American Museum of Natural History will serve as an Early Voting site.

You'll get to vote in the new Richard Gilder Center and also get a custom I Voted early sticker.

The museum stepped up after an UWS school voiced concerns about serving as site.

@Katfalcon_ @CBSNewYork Yes and sure!

NYC students will now get Student OMNY cards which are a huge changer. Good for 4 rides, 24 hrs a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year! So kids can tap for subways & buses on weekends, holidays, summers. Students will receive them in early September. https://t.co/uIzTzgn8tI

@alicemayporter What about my 14 yo daughter? She plays all the games!

[Jen Chung @jenchung]

Pandas in DC from years ago ❤️🐼💻

I, too, invoked “The Official Preppy Handbook”—literally taking out my dogeared copy I uh borrowed from my uncle—when my 14 yo and her friends were using the term “preppy” to describe something not preppy.

Did I help bring lion dancers to @GrandCentralNYC for the @MTA? 🐉

Finally got to share one of my @MTA OMNY bus announcements with my cat Reese

What’s is more New York than listening to an @MTAArtsDesign Music Under New York performer—@augie_bello—as NYC school children walk by? 🎶🩷🚇

@jhoffman @MTA @NYCTSubway Next, to bring them to a station!?!?!

[Jen Chung @jenchung]

MeowTA, amirite? The 1 (eyed) train heads to Times Square to meet the R train. The C train is at the train yard, getting ready for tonight’s Halloween parade. 🎃

[Jen Chung @jenchung]

For Halloween, here are my cats:
Reese is Purrlock Holmes
Sadie is Dr. John Swatson
Claire is Professor Meowriarity
🐱👻🎃🍬

[Jen Chung @jenchung]

Double rainbow!

Today I’m taking measure of the situation.
