The author wrote that "The bagels at A&S Bagels on Hempstead Turnpike, one of the touchstones of my teenage years, were magnificent affairs, as big around as a bread plate and so high they were almost spherical, the hole in the center pinched closed by the bread's sheer abundance."

In the September 22, 2006 Newsday article entitled "Life on the Night Shift," author Denise M. Bonilla explored Long Island's businesses and organizations that run through the night. A&S Bagels was one of the featured businesses. The following is an excerpt from the article:

"It's 1 a.m. and that means hungry crowds at A & S Bagel Co. in Franklin Square. Anthony Scolieri, one of the business' owners, is running around in a white apron and clear plastic gloves, alternately taking orders, directing workers and stacking slices of cold cuts on top of bagel slices."
