  Everything is great keep up the amazing work and great tasting knishes I lived near the store and would go there when I could afford to buy a knish the year1950 -1953 until I moved

  "No frills" and "old school" don't even scratch the surface. As bare bones and unpretentious as it comes. Knish themselves are hit or miss. I find the savory ones to be mostly really bland, but the sweet ones (esp cheese and apple) are wonderful. A lower Manhattan institution regardless.

  I live in So. Florida and have had access to at least 12 different local businesses that sell knishes. I have tried them all and have not found a single one that compares to Yonah Schimmel knishes. I happen to be a knish maven (expert) and eat knishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time. Trust me when I tell you that there are none better. My order arrived in perfect condition and not a single knish was crushed. If I stilled lived in NYC, I'd be picking up a dozen every other week. This is a first rate business who truly are masters of their craft. I just recvd my order of 18 knishes today and I am in knish heaven. Keep up the great work Y.S. Truly the best knishes in the USA
