serves up ‘old-school’ bagel
BY COLIN MIXSON
This old-school bagel is on the rise!
Fans of an old-timey style of bagel
that fell out of fashion around the
turn of the 21st century can now fi nd
their beloved bread of the past in Park
Slope, at a new sister shop of popular
Cobble Hill delicatessen Shelsky’s of
Brooklyn that opened on Monday, according
to its owners.
Bakers Peter Shelsky and Lewis
Spada said one bite of their revival of
the particular style of bagel — which
Shelsky described as denser, chewier,
and smaller than the more modern iterations
of boiled bread sold across the
city — will hook locals on the recipe
gone by.
“We think bagels have gotten really
large, soft, and fl uffy,” said Shelsky.
“In my lifetime bagels slowly changed,
and over the past 15 years they disappeared
altogether. We want to make
them how they used to be.”
The owners opened the Slope location,
called Shelsky’s Brooklyn Bagels,
on Fourth Avenue near the Fourth Avenue
Ninth Street subway station, hoping
to capture the commuter crowd
with their throwback breakfast food,
which they developed with baker Matthew
Tilden, the man who ran Bedford-
Stuyvesant eatery Scratchbread for six
years before shuttering it in 2015 .
Tilden helped the duo concoct a special
sourdough yeast, which lent their
bagels that long-lost chewiness they
yearned for, according to Spada.
“He’s captured what Peter and I
were looking for in bringing back an
old-school Brooklyn bagel,” he said.
Shelsky’s retro bagels are currently
only available at their Park Slope location,
but the partners plan on bringing
them to their Court Street fl agship —
which is currently stocked with bagels
from Mill Basin Cafe — sometime after
the holidays, Spada said.

Brooklyn Bagels (453 Fourth Ave. near
