RZAPS (Ricardo Zurita Architecture & Planning, P.C.)

The aim for the latest Zucker's Bagels and Smoked Fish was to create continuity with the earlier version completed last year on the Upper West Side. In keeping with the approach of the latter, we revived the original red brick wall, pressed tin ceiling and storefront pillars. A new 24-feet white oak communal table and curved wall with a golf-leaf mural infuses the bakery with a warm and blithe spirit, while the cast iron furniture legs and pendant lighting echo the industrial feel of the previous bakery.
