MD Bagel Fragel: Here are a “few” other Ann Arbor food & beverage favorites
This is one of three WLAA stories on the reopening of MD Bagel Fragel.
Bagel Fragel has been an Ann Arbor institution for four decades. It first opened on South University before being forced out of that location (there is a high-rise there now) and moving to Plymouth Road. Patricia Rockette purchased the business in 2007 from a longtime employee who bought it from the original owner when they moved to Plymouth Road. She changed the name to MD Bagel Fragel (the M is for Michael and the D is for Dylan – the names of her sons). Rockette was forced to shut the doors on Dec. 20, 2018 after owners of the building decided not to renew her lease. MD Bagel Fragel will open on Wednesday (Feb. 6) with a “soft opening” at 3500 Washtenaw Ave., in Ann Arbor.
Here are just a few (there are many, many others) Ann Arbor longtime food and drink favorites – you know, the “must stops” when former residents return home or friends come to visit.
