Spread Bagelry reopening later this week, foreal this time

It was the ultimate Montreal-style bummer when an on-the-fritz oven and subsequent fire shut down Spread Bagelry (262 S. 20th St.) just days after its early May debut. They flirted with reopening a few times since then, but now owner Larry Rosenblum tells Meal Ticket he's dead-set on this coming Thursday or Friday — today they re-lit their brick oven, which takes 48 or more hours to heat up to fighting temperature, so keep your schmear-lovin' fingers crossed for fresh hot bagels for the weekend. "We used the time to make more improvements, add more refrigeration and air conditioning, hire more staff, make more refinements and more," says Rosenblum. "We're really excited to start baking again."
UPDATE: In case you need photographic evidence, check out a pic of the lit oven after the jump.
