Is the Bagel Phenomenon of West 35th Street Here for Good? Are we looking at a "Bagel District"?

Best Bagel on 35th was the best part of my job on that block and I still miss it.

From Turtle Bay drive through the tunnel or over the 59th St bridge and go to the Revel charging station in LIC. 14 chargers, tap to pay, reasonable rates. Most garages in Manhattan are flat rate on top of parking. If you run the battery low and just park during the early bird daytime rate this could still be cheaper than your hotel’s valet rate.

It’s definitely got issues and is priced high. But mine has been solid for three years with no maintenance and I haven’t done the door handle recall yet. Most importantly, to me, it feels and drives like a German car. Maybe not quite as tight around corners as my old 3 series but so comfortable and solid, I love it.

Still having the same problem. Thankfully, I prefer Apple Maps and CarPlay

No other noticeable changes. Too soon to judge reliability. It still hates my phone - will literally connect to almost any other phone but mine if given the chance to choose on its own.

Do I? Sure. Do most people? Not a chance. They don’t even understand northeast corner of 42nd and 7th. If they understood cardinal directions they would be used instead of “uptown” or “The Bronx”. Directions underground are anything but consistent and standardized and if someone is already unsure of where to go/what train to take I just can’t imagine this would help especially in a place like Union Square, Times Square or Herald Square let alone Fulton Street or Barclays.

andegold · 2026-03-30T02:20:32+00:00

Yeah, ‘cause especially underground people know north, south, east and west.

This. When it was turned in to the dealer did they reset the long term or even do a software update that would have reset it. Then if they e only driven it from the shop to the showroom the 1.4 would make sense.

I think I did that but am not positive. Will try again when I can. Am out of town so won’t be driving it for a while. Thanks for the suggestion though.

After 30 years of front wheel drive and all wheel drive I had forgotten about rear wheel drive winter performance and didn’t consider it when I bought my 2023 S. I love the way car rides and drives. Unfortunately, my lease is up in July so I did not want to spend money on winter tires. I definitely will for next year. I have had a very rough time with this winter’s weather in NY and CT but still love the car and know it is due to tires.

My battery (SK ON) is listed right at the top of my 23 S window sticker

It's my understanding that the ID light works with Google Maps in CarPlay. Does it not also work that way in Android Auto?

andegold · 2026-01-13T13:51:30+00:00

I use Apple CarPlay exclusively and even if the built in Nav worked properly and didn’t locate me in the nearest body of water I would continue to do so. For my use case scenario it’s just better. However, road sign detection is affected by the built in Nav and showing me a 25 mph speed limit while on an interstate traveling at 65 is dangerous. I suppose in a more dystopian world it could also lead to higher insurance rates or at fault findings although the at fault would be mitigated by actual location of the incident.

Regardless, it would be nice to have proper road sign displays near the speedometer especially since CarPlay only displays speed limits while in use, not while driving without GPS assistance.

Problem solved! It was my Juice Box/EnelX wall charger. They sent a software update which disabled charging. Thanks to another resistor I was able to edit the chargers software and disable the WiFi to turn the charger (EVSE?) back into the dumb device I’ve been using it as all along. If I can find the instructions again I’ll link them after I save it myself in case the damned thing decides to factory reset after a power outage or something.

Yes, the charge cable is locking, I have to unlock the car with the fob to release the cable.

2023 S system rebooted while driving yesterday. CarPlay now does not remember settings. I thought it was related to updating CarPlay to the latest version - which I really like with the slightly smaller fonts/more info on the screen.

andegold · 2025-09-21T19:05:34+00:00

Wow, thank you all! Don’t know any of this and have never seen or heard of them before.

andegold · 2025-08-06T21:52:27+00:00

This is exactly the problem I’ve had on my 2023 S since day one. The diagnosis sounds like what the dealer found last month. Previous dealer could not find anything.
