Business Buzz
Long-time bagel business Manhattan Bagels, located for years at 1205 Tilton Road in Northfield, has changed hands. Well-known entrepreneur Karol Kulakowski and his partner, Bobbie Todorov, seized a great opportunity in taking over Manhattan Bagels.
The new entity, now called Jersey Hot Bagels, has also expanded to include a homemade ice cream business called Route 9 Creamery.
Karol and Bobbie are not new to the food world. They have owned a local favorite sandwich shop, Chico and Sons in Northfield, for the past six years and have developed anreputation as one of the best sandwich places around.
With Manhattan Bagels, they saw a chance to capture the breakfast market as well. The store’s tremendous Tilton Road location enhances the likelihood that they will be successful.
They offer huge sandwiches with fresh ingredients. Karol said, “the customers have been raving about the delicious flavors of the bagels, some of which are only available at Jersey Hot Bagels.”

There is also a complete line of homemade, mouthwatering breakfast and lunch sandwiches that people are raving about.
Signature sandwiches include the Morris (ham, swiss cheese, spicy mustard, lettuce and tomato); the Atlantic (ribeye steak, provolone cheese, fried onions on a seeded roll); and the Bergen (pork roll, bacon, fried egg, peppers, onions and American cheese), among many more choices.
