I was born at Beth Israel. So was my daughter. They did not crack a
smile at the cashier's office when I asked if I got a discount for
repeat business.

That's because you asked for a donut and not a bagel. Ess-A-Bagel was
always my favorite but it is not as "heavy" as other bagels as the other
poster mentioned. They are larger than most other bagels. And yes, I lived
for many years on First Avenue across form Beth Israel. Does the Mitzvah
Tank still stop there?

I dunno. I'm not that far from the Lubovitcher World Headquarters on
Eastern Parkway, so we see them prowling the streets of Brooklyn.
I wouldn't order donuts at Ess-A-Bagel, but I can relate--my wife once
went to Peter Luger's and ordered fish.
