Scope and Content

Accession consists of five photographs of the Bagel Restaurant located at 285 College Street.

Photographs by Lisa Abram.

Administrative History

The Bagel Restaurant also knwon as the Bagel and by some the Dirty Bagel, was a popular diner located at 285 College Street, a few doors west of Spadina Avenue. The restaurant opened around 1952 and was favoured by local office workers, garment workers, and students enrolled at nearby U of T. The Bagel specialized in homestyle, eastern European Jewish foods. On the menu were offerings such as chicken soup and kreplach, borsht (both cold beet and hot cabbage varieties), kishka, chicken fricassee, boiled beef (flanken), and kasha (buckwheat). The service, often of note in local newspaper reviews, was described as both caring and instructive: “they fuss over you; they’re surrogate mothers.” The former tenant of 285 College Street was photographer Gordon Mendly, who lived and ran Famous Studios out of the same location from the 1940s–1960s.

Admin History/Bio

The youngest child of Abraham Crystal and Sarah Crystal, Samuel "Sam" Crystal was born in Pontypool, Ontario, on 16 September 1927, where he grew up with his eight siblings. At the age of seventeen, Sam went to work for the Toronto Telegram, which brought him to Toronto. After his time at the Telegram, Sam worked for the Public Relations Board of Canada and, later, the Oshawa Group.

In 1948, Sam married his wife, Shirley, with whom he had three children: Ken, Ellen, and Michael. In 1967, he travelled to Israel for the first time as part of a UJA fact-finding mission. According to his son Ken, the trip "profoundly moved him" and "brought home his sense of Judaism." It was on that trip that Sam came to know Samuel Posluns; fifteen years later, Sam's son Ken married Samuel's daughter Lynn. Sam went on to travel to Israel several times subsequently.

Sam passed away on 12 January 2021.

Scope and Content

Fonds consists of 149 photographs that were taken on a trip to Israel Sam took in December 1967.
