NEW YORK CITY, NY – May 10, 2012 – (RealEstateRama) — Midtown denizens looking for a tasty bagel, some Nova Scotia salmon and a schmear will be pleased to know that Zucker’s Bagels & Smoked Fish, the popular Chambers Street eatery, is opening a midtown shop at 370 Lexington Avenue, at East 41st Street, according to Sherwood Equities, the landlord.
The tenant will occupy 1,700 square feet on the ground floor, plus an 800-square- foot basement space, under a long-term lease, bringing the building to approximately 99% occupancy.
“Zucker’s has met great success downtown and wants to expand the brand and make inroads into Midtown’s corporate catering business,” says Adam Weissleder, leasing agent at 370 Lexington. “They expect to open in approximately six months.”
