Bethesda Bagels, purveyors of round food and assorted other delicacies,
announced on Twitter and
Facebook on Friday that it will be coming to the neighborhood "in early 2017," and
confirmed under tough questioning that their location will be in
Insignia on M, the new 324-unit apartment building on its way to completion on the northwest corner of New Jersey and M, just above the east entrance to the Navy Yard-Ballpark Metro station.
This will be Bethesda Bagels' third location, alongside its shops in Bethesda (duh) and at Dupont Circle.
The Insignia building has approximately 11,000 square feet of ground-floor retail spaces that both face M Street as well as at the corner of New Jersey and L, and this is the first news of a tenant. (I *think* BB will be in one of the spaces along M, but
I don't yet have confirmation of that.)
