      <title>Last bagels made at Absolute Bagels go on auction, after shop suddenly closes</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/330393247/last-bagels-made-at-absolute-bagels-go-on-auction-after-shop-suddenly-closes</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Absolute Bagels, a beloved Upper West Side bakery known for its unique bagel flavors and schmears, abruptly closed this week after a health inspection revealed a rat infestation.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The closure shocked loyal customers who considered the shop a neighborhood staple. Now, some of the “last” bagels ever made at Absolute Bagels are being auctioned off on eBay.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The auction includes plain, cinnamon raisin, and pumpernickel bagels, with individual bagels starting at $14.99 and a trio available for $49.99.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The health inspection uncovered rat droppings throughout the premises, leading to a 67-violation notice and the immediate closure of the establishment.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The shop, which had previously faced temporary closures for similar issues in 2013 and 2017, has not announced plans to reopen.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;As of Saturday night, no bids had been placed on the eBay auction, which ends on December 23rd.&lt;/p&gt;
