Scot Rossillo lives in Massapequa but grew up in Brooklyn, making him an ideal candidate to have designed a crossover product for this crossover Islanders season.
The Islanders-themed bagels he has been making as creative director of The Bagel Store in Williamsburg, Brooklyn, are hot sellers, a sign of the times for a team that has advanced to the second round of the playoffs in their first season in the borough.
“It’s a fun thing for me, because I get to be creative and be creative in a way that other people get to enjoy,” he said Friday as he rolled his latest colorful concoction — a pink-and-light-blue “promposal” bagel that can be presented as part of an invitation to a school prom.
