First off, props to the owner- you really put your heart and soul both into the creation and promotion of this restaurant. I remember when I first saw the newspaper article about the plans, the business class I was sitting in on predicted that this would fail within 6 months. Shows how much they know!\n\nI mostly tolerated my food- nothing special, but it did feel fresh. In the end, it was still a pretty greasy, boring bagel (philly cheesesteak bagel) which I ended up not even finishing half of (for extenuating circumstances beyond the mediocrity of the bagel itself) but my biggest drawback with this place is the lack of seating- 5 seats at a bar along the window does not qualify as seating! Something needs to be done about this!\n\nAlso, my bagel-wich seemed rather pricey. Kinda disappointing for a small restaurant with no franchising to be pricing above market.\n\nEdit: It would appear that Howbowda Bagel is closing this week. A shame, as it was a great entrepreneurial experiment, but not too surprising in the end.
