YONAH SCHIMMEL KNISH BAKERY

  The blueberry cheese knish was so good and was generously filled. We are going to keep coming back here and wonder why we only tried it now.




Update: Went back on a Sunday and then soon after I got sick. Hygiene issues in this place.

  If you have never had knishes delivered by dumbwaiter, with mustard as garnish and tea as hydration... and you know from Houston... get to Yona Schimmel's already
