She said, “Best bagels I’ve had in a looooong time.” We both lived in NYC for a number of years and ate our share of bagels during that time.

Last week I had a chance to speak with Sarah Dubrule about her new project called Moully’s. It will be a kind of a weekly wine pop-up at the new location of Carnelian Coffee in SE Portland’s Foster-Powell neighborhood. Moully’s will offer wines by the glass and bottle, as well as nibbles, and a chance for neighbors to have a local spot where they can have a glass and relax.
