Here Larry King comes to save the day! Yup, it's finally time for King to take another quick reprieve from retirement to help open The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Company, restoring glory to L.A.'s widely panned bagels, long the promise from this Florida-based chain that has its own brand of "Brooklynized" water. L.A. Times reports that the Mayor of 90210 will join Brooklyn borough Pres Marty Markowitz at a ribbon-cutting tomorrow night for VIPs. Come Friday, the spot officially opens to the public and King himself will be out of bed to give away a half-dozen bagels to each of the first 100 customers at 6:00 A.M. Reanimating the rep of L.A.'s bagels won't be an easy job, so check out the retro diner space that will try and get the job done in our slide show of the space.

The Original Brooklyn Water Bagel Co., 262 S. Beverly Dr. Beverly Hills.
