Takeout Tuesday - Bialy's Bagels

Each week, we've been highlighting establlishments making food to go, trying to keep businesses afloat while in-person dining is disallowed due to social distancing. We call it Takeout Tuesday. This week, we head to Bialy's Bagels... which has been a University Heights staple since 1966. In 2017, twins Rachel and Sarah Gross took over ownership. When the pandemic hit, they shut down the store for a month out of concerns for safety, and so they could develop a Web based ordering system for takeout orders. They reopened April 17th.
 
Sound of Ideas Coordinating Producer Rachel Rood spoke to Rachel Gross about the tough decision to close the doors temporarily.

Rachel is the supervising producer for Ideastream Public Media’s morning public affairs show, the “Sound of Ideas.”
