Finagle-a-Bagel in Coolidge Corner is now Fini-a-bagel.

Maybe it's a problem with lenders or something, but Whalehead King wishes somebody would open a bagel shop in Dorchester. Even better would be a kupel of them.

The Massachusetts Liberal offers proof that food prices are soaring:

... A baker's dozen at Kupel's in Brookline cost $6 for a seeming eternity. The last time I was in last month, the price had jumped to $7.49. Tonight, about three weeks later, it was $7.99 -- along with a note apologizing while blaming extraordinary increases in ingredients and transportation costs. ...

Jeff Egnaczyk pines for the egg bagels of his youth:

... Now I can never find them in supermarkets, grocery stores or chain bagel shops in my area of Brookline. That includes Stop 'N Shop, Trader Joe's, Bruegger's and Finagle A Bagel just within several blocks of my place. What's the deal? ...

Kupel's?

Boston Restaurant News reports that Zeppy's in Randolph has closed.
