The Bagelman, also known as John Marx, will make a guest appearance at The Point-Perk, located at 104 West Pike Street in Covington on Friday, October 29.
Marx, who operated and owned the famed Marx Hot Bagels on Kenwood Road on Cincinnati for more than 50 years, is the new General Manager of The Point-Perk.
“I just thought it would be fun to have The Bagelman make an appearance at The Point-Perk for Halloween,” he said, “and, as a special treat, anyone wearing a Halloween costume will get 20 percent off their order, all day.”

The Point/Arc was founded in 1972 by a group of parents fighting for the educational rights of their children, who were diagnosed with an intellectual and developmental (I/DD) disability.
The organization’s mission is to help people with disabilities achieve their highest potential educationally, socially, residentially and vocationally. The Point/Arc has worked to identify gaps in services and provide care and support to fill those gaps – even when government funding sources are not available.
