Tompkins Square Bagels Arrives in Midtown: Inside Our New Shaver Hall Location

Midtown, we have arrived.

For over a decade, Tompkins Square Bagels has been an East Village institution, serving up hand-rolled, kettle-boiled bagels to downtown locals and visitors from around the world. What started as a single storefront on Avenue A has grown into one of the most recognized bagel shops in New York City, with locations across Manhattan that have earned devoted followings, national press coverage, and lines that stretch around the block on weekends. We have expanded our footprint over the years, but today marks a massive new chapter for our shop.

As of Friday, June 26, 2026, Tompkins Square Bagels is officially open in Midtown Manhattan inside the brand-new Shaver Hall at 424 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10018.

We are bringing the exact same recipes, the exact same process, and the exact same energy that built our reputation downtown straight to the heart of the city. Whether you work in the area, are visiting the nearby landmarks, or just need a serious breakfast before catching a train, our ovens are hot and our doors are open. This is not a pop-up. This is not a limited engagement. This is a permanent home for Tompkins Square Bagels in Midtown, and we could not be more excited to share it with you.

Where to Find Us: 424 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10018

Our new home is located inside Shaver Hall, a massive 35,000-square-foot food and entertainment destination built inside the historic former Lord & Taylor flagship building at 424 Fifth Avenue. The building itself is a piece of New York history — an Italian Renaissance Revival landmark originally constructed in 1914 that has been beautifully reimagined as one of the city's most ambitious culinary destinations.

Address: 424 5th Avenue, New York, NY 10018 (Between West 38th and West 39th Streets)
Phone: 646-653-5910
Hours: 7:00 AM – 5:00 PM, 7 days a week

This location puts us right in the center of the action. Here is what is within walking distance of our new shop:

  • Bryant Park — 2 blocks north

  • New York Public Library — 3 blocks north

  • Empire State Building — 4 blocks south

  • Grand Central Terminal — 4 blocks northeast

  • Times Square — 4 blocks northwest

  • Herald Square / Macy's — 4 blocks south

  • Penn Station — 5 blocks southwest

If you are commuting, we are perfectly positioned between Grand Central Terminal and Penn Station, making it easier than ever to grab a real New York breakfast before heading to the office. The B/D/F/M trains at 34th Street–Herald Square and the 7 train at 5th Avenue–Bryant Park are both a short walk away, meaning you can get to us from virtually anywhere in the city without a transfer.

For the thousands of office workers in the surrounding blocks — including those at Amazon's offices in the very same building — we are now the closest authentic bagel shop to your desk. No more settling for chain coffee shops or sad grab-and-go options. You have a real New York bagel shop downstairs.

What Is Shaver Hall? A New Midtown Food Destination

Before we dive into what we are serving, it is worth talking about the space itself. Shaver Hall is not your average food court. It is a curated, chef-driven food hall that occupies the ground floor of the former Lord & Taylor building, combining 11 distinct eateries, three full-service restaurants, multiple bars, a concert stage with live music programming, and a modern bodega concept — all under one roof.

The space opened on June 26, 2026 — the same day we opened our doors — and has already generated significant buzz across the New York food scene. The hall's own description captures the vibe perfectly: "Shaver Hall has arrived in Midtown, bringing serious food, great drinks, and a little attitude to Fifth Avenue. Set inside the former Lord & Taylor building at 424 Fifth Avenue, the new food hall is where New York grabs a cup of joe in the morning, the best bagel in town at lunch, a martini before the show, and one more drink before heading for the train."

We are proud to be the breakfast anchor of this space. When Shaver Hall opens its doors at 7 AM, we are there from the very first minute, ready to serve the early risers, the commuters, and the pre-meeting crowd. While the rest of the hall comes alive throughout the day with ramen, steak, gelato, and cocktails, we are holding it down with fresh bagels and hot coffee from sunrise onward.

What's on the Menu at Our Shaver Hall Location

If you are worried that a food hall location means a condensed menu, do not be. We are bringing our full arsenal to 5th Avenue. You can expect the same extensive selection of bagels, spreads, sandwiches, bakery items, and beverages that you would find at any of our other Manhattan locations.

Hand-Rolled, Kettle-Boiled Bagels Baked Fresh Daily

Everything starts with the bagel. Ours are hand-rolled, kettle-boiled, and baked in brick ovens every single morning — the same way they have been made since day one. There are no shortcuts, no par-baking, and no frozen dough. Every bagel that comes out of our oven at Shaver Hall is made from scratch that day.

Here is the full lineup of bagel varieties available at our new location, as listed on our breakfast menu:

  • Plain — The classic, crisp outside, chewy inside

  • Everything — Topped with sesame, poppy, garlic, onion, and salt

  • Sesame — Generously coated in toasted sesame seeds

  • Poppy — Covered in poppy seeds for a nutty crunch

  • Salt — Coarse salt on a classic dough

  • Whole Wheat — A heartier, nuttier option

  • Whole Wheat Everything — The best of both worlds

  • Multigrain — Packed with seeds and grains

  • Sourdough — Tangy, fermented flavor profile

  • Cinnamon Raisin — Sweet with plump raisins throughout

  • Pumpernickel — Dark, earthy, and slightly sweet

  • French Toast Bagel — Sweet cinnamon-sugar coated, a fan favorite

  • Blueberry Bagel — Studded with real blueberries

  • Gluten Free Bagel — Fresh from Sunshine Bakery, available daily

That is 14 varieties, made fresh, available every single day. Whether you are a purist who wants a plain bagel with butter or someone who craves our French Toast Bagel with birthday cake cream cheese, we have you covered.

Our cream cheese case is one of the things that sets Tompkins Square Bagels apart from every other bagel shop in the city. We make over 20 flavors in-house, in small batches, every single day.

More Than Just Bagels: Exploring Shaver Hall's Other Vendors

One of the best parts about our new location is the company we keep. Shaver Hall is redefining the Midtown dining scene by bringing 11 chef-driven eateries, three full-service restaurants, and multiple bars under one roof. The concept is designed so that groups with different cravings can all find something they love in the same space.

When you visit us for breakfast or lunch, you can also explore incredible food from our neighbors throughout the rest of the day. The hall features everything from sushi and ramen to butter chicken, steak, falafel, artisan cheese, and gelato. Here are some of the standout vendors joining us inside Shaver Hall:

As food influencer @dine365 put it in their recent Instagram post: "@shaverfoodhallnyc is taking over the iconic former Lord & Taylor building with 11 chef-driven eateries, 3 full-service restaurants, bars, and everything from sushi and ramen to bagels, falafel, cheese, and gelato, all under one roof. Honestly, the hardest part will be deciding what to eat first."

We could not agree more. But we do have a suggestion: start with a bagel.

Why This Location Matters for Midtown

For years, Midtown Manhattan has been underserved when it comes to authentic, hand-rolled bagels. The neighborhood is packed with office towers, hotels, and tourist destinations, but finding a real New York bagel — one that is kettle-boiled and baked fresh that morning, not reheated from frozen — has always been a challenge in this part of the city.

That changes now. Our Shaver Hall location brings the same quality and craft that earned us recognition from the New York Times, Eater, Time Out, and Food Network directly to the doorstep of Midtown's workforce and visitors. You no longer need to trek downtown to the East Village or make a special trip to get a Tompkins Square Bagel. We are right here, on Fifth Avenue, seven days a week.

For the office workers grabbing breakfast before a 9 AM meeting, for the tourists heading to the Empire State Building who want to start their day with an authentic New York experience, for the commuters passing through Grand Central or Penn Station who have 15 minutes to spare — we built this location for you.

Our Other Manhattan Locations

While we are thrilled about Shaver Hall, our other locations across Manhattan continue to serve the neighborhoods that made us who we are:

Every location serves the same menu, uses the same recipes, and maintains the same standards. The only difference is which neighborhood you are closest to.
