Ottawa Bagelshop and Deli
Owner and manager Vincenzo Piazza remembers that first day of business:
"When we first opened twenty years ago, the most common reaction
was, 'What's a bagel?'" The shop now stands as an art gallery,
a coffee shop, a restaurant, a deli, a gourmet food emporium, and
more. (And the bagels are good, too!)
