St. Viateur Bagels in Montreal its 50th anniversary. Its home is in an area to businesses that reflected the ethnicity of the immigrant Mile End neighbourhood: Shapiro's dry goods, Levine's grocery - and a new bagel shop launched by Polish Holocaust survivor Majer Lewkowicz and Jacob Shlafman, son of the Russian immigrant who introduced the delicacy to Montreal in 1919.

Our favorite columnist Mike Boone writes of St. Viateur's famous past and present in the Montreal Gazette.
