Toastgate: Mayor's Park Slope Bagel Story Is Full Of Holes

NEW YORK CITY — There's a gaping hole in the middle of Mayor Bill de Blasio's bagel story. And it's toasted.

Hizzoner celebrated National Bagel Day Wednesday by sharing his order of choice — a toasted whole wheat with extra cream cheese from the Bagel Hole in Park Slope — on Twitter.

The problem, as de Blasio's followers responded to the since-deleted tweet, is that Bagel Hole does not toast.

"If I were to tell you I was Mayor of New York City," Patch asked a Bagel Hole worker, "would you toast my bagel then?"

"No," the worker replied. "We don't toast at all."

The tweet was quickly deleted and replaced by this toast-free Tweet:

De Blasio later admitted, "I must have a hole in my memory," but the toastgate debate raged on:

City Hall spokesperson Julia Arredondo confirmed the Mayor's take on Toastgate:

“It’s hard to remember Everything and sometimes we all Poppy off on social media," Arredondo stated. "At the end of the day, nobody has a Lox on this debate, but we can say for a fact that Bagel Hole is most definitely the Toast of New York City.”
