Old School Bagel - N. May

We start out with some problems with the Disabled Parking. The spot closest to the restaurant is in bad shape and the ramp and cut-out are right in front of your car. Ya gotta love those landlords that try to do it on the cheap. Wait a minute. No you don’t! As I was murmuring and backing out of the space to find another, I got that Déjà vu feeling. Then it hit me. This is the exact same Disabled spot we used when visiting Inca Trails, also reviewed here. The same spin your wheels and jump over the hood to get to the sidewalk spot. In need of repair and rethinking then and still in need of repair and rethinking . Always remember, though, these are landlord issues. Not restaurant issues. There are other Disabled parking spots in the general area that are better, so plan on wheeling it on the sidewalk for a bit. We chose to just park in the middle of the lot. Not a wise choice because the entire parking lot is in disrepair.

Virtually everything inside the restaurant is fine. There is an order line and a drink station. Lots of accessible tables. The aisles are easily navigated. While there is a clear path to the bathroom, it is a LONG clear path. (See photo) This is not a single occupancy so there is no lock on the door. But that also means there is no handle to turn to get in. There is a large kick plate on the outside.

The stall has no handle to grab. Just that annoying tapered (and thus nearly impossible to pull) latch. The paper towel dispenser is pretty much out of reach.
