Zelnik & Company is proud to announce the opening of Tompkins Square Bagels at 1159 Third Avenue. The shop is located between East 67th and 68th Streets, in the heart of the Upper East Side.
This marks the fourth New York City location for the beloved bagel shop. The bagel brand has developed a cult following for its hand‑rolled, kettle‑boiled bagels, house-made spreads, and inventive sandwiches. The new 1,500 square foot storefront features a spacious layout, backyard patio seating, and a design that reflects the brand’s East Village roots while welcoming the Upper East Side community.
“We’re thrilled to help bring Tompkins Square Bagels to the Upper East Side and proud to represent both sides in this transaction,” said Cory Zelnik, CEO of Zelnik & Company. “This location, with its strong residential base, high foot traffic, and proximity to key retailers, is a perfect fit for a neighborhood-driven brand like Tompkins.”
Located steps from the Q train and surrounded by national and local retailers, 1159 Third Avenue offers Tompkins Square Bagels a prime opportunity to expand its reach while maintaining its signature New York charm.
Jason Turner, Executive Managing Director of Zelnik & Company, represented TSB while Cory Zelnik represented the Landlord, BLDG Management.
The deal underscores Zelnik & Company’s continued role in shaping Manhattan’s retail landscape, connecting best-in-class tenants with strategic locations across the city.
