H&H Bagels has been a popular bagel company in Manhattan, in New York City. The original two stores closed, but one with the same name continues.

Before closing in January 2012, the two original stores had been the largest bagel manufacturer in New York City, and one of the largest bagel manufacturers in the world, producing about 80,000 bagels a day.

There is an H&H Midtown Bagels East at 1551 2nd Avenue between East 80th and East 81st streets on the Upper East Side of Manhattan, with different owners. In 1997, it had sales of $2 million.

History

The business was started in 1972 when Puerto Rican Helmer Toro and his brother-in-law Hector Hernandez (hence "H&H") bought Midtown Bagels at Broadway and 80th Street for $5,000 ($28,000 in current dollar terms) in cash and $50,000 ($280,000 in current dollar terms) in a loan. Toro eventually assumed full control of the business.

In 1993 it moved its bakery to 46th Street at 12th Avenue in Hell's Kitchen although its primary storefront remained on the Upper West Side.
