FUTURE OPENINGS

Mt. Bagel Like List
Many mourned when this cult-favorite bagel delivery business from former Cabana lead singer Roan Hartzog closed up shop Like List last year, due to Hartzog moving to Bend, Oregon. Now, we can all rejoice: Hartzog is back in town with a brand-new brick-and-mortar shop. The spot invited guests to stop by for free bagels earlier this morning and promptly ran out, but if you missed out, no worries: The shop will take the first round of pre-orders on June 23 (for delivery June 27-30) and will have bagels and cream cheese available for walk-in beginning on June 27. They're sure to sell out fast, so we suggest marking your calendar and keeping a close eye on Instagram if you're determined to snag some.
