BEIGEL BAKE - DAMORIE
BEIGEL BAKE - DAMORIE
If you ever spot a line outside of an eating establishment while walking down Brick Lane, you are most likely approaching a piece of history in the area called Beigel Bake. Without the line of people standing outside of it or the crowd within, it would be easy to miss this beloved bakery due to its simple banner and interior design, but what Beigel Bake lacks in these areas, it makes up for it with its tasty, freshly baked bagels, or in this case beigels. Maybe the restaurant’s simple design has to do with the fact that it is one of London’s oldest bagel shops, which blends in with the air of nostalgia that fits many of the shops in Brick Lane. Whatever it is, it’s obvious that Beigel Bake is enormously popular in this area. The bakery opened in the neighborhood in the 1970s, while there was still some Jewish people living in Brick Lane. Although the area is now populated by Bangladesh immigrants, Beigel Bake is a reminder of the once massive Jewish presence Brick Lane had. What makes Beigel Bake so great is not only its fresh bagels or the fact that it is open 24 hours but its the variety in which they serve them that makes them unique. The fact that their most popular dish is a bagel with salmon and cream cheese makes this all true. So if you’re having a bagel craving stop at Beigel Bake but get there early because there will most likely to be a line.

Jugend magazine cover (Issue 47) by Julie Wolfthorn, 1897.
Julie Wolfthorn (1864-1944) was a German-Jewish female painter who created many illustrations for Jugend and was a well known and established portrait painter in Germany. Since the art schools did not accept women at that time, she travelled to Paris in the 1890′s to learn painting techniques and skills. She later became involved with the Berlin Secession and became a prominent member of it. Among her clients and friends were many female artists and important figures in society. Her life did not end well though. She later died in her 70′s at a camp established by the SS for Jewish citizens. She was said to have continued her drawing despite the horrific conditions there.
