Shape The Day
Before
Brooklyn Bagel & Coffee CompanyA bagel counter on Eighth Avenue at 24th, kettle-boiling and hand-rolling its own and keeping about two dozen cream cheeses in a refrigerated case behind the glass. You take a ticket, say what you want and watch it get built. It opens at half past six on a weekday, which is early enough to be the first thing open on this stretch of Eighth Avenue, and it shuts at three every day without exception.

After
Gym SportsbarA long-running gay sports bar on Eighth Avenue between 18th and 19th, with pool tables and arcade machines. Games stay on the screens. It is plain inside and the crowd is mostly regulars and the gay sports leagues whose nights it hosts. No cover, no line, and it opens at one in the afternoon on weekends.
