YONAH SCHIMMEL KNISH BAKERY

  Yonah Schimmel's knishes are great!

I have had them to go many times and now I've had them delivered.

I have had the potato, kasha, red cabbage, mushroom, vegetable, cherry cheese and blueberry cheese.

To tell you the truth, I love the plain old potato with lots of mustard on top! Of course all of them are terrific. I especially like the kasha, which is kind of an acquired taste and the red cabbage which is a little unusual. I also really love the cherry cheese. I could eat one of the sweet ones for breakfast everyday!

This is a classic place with a 100 year plus history...very basic, kind of old, and not at all fancy.

If you really like knishes, you probably already know this place. It is legendary. If not, go buy a dozen, freeze some and enjoy the best knishes of your life!

  The person behind the counter was adorable suite and incredibly helpful. The conditions look and taste amazing, the fact that they're kosher is a bonus. Go check them out.

  This is an iconic and go to spot in the Lower East Side to have a sweet or savory (or both) knish!

I always make the walking trip to order a sweet potato or apple strudel knish to start my morning or have as an afternoon snack. I find comfort in getting it warmed up at the ideal temperature so I can easily bite in and enjoy while sitting at a nearby park or walking and snacking.

The cashier I usually see is very kind and makes sure the knish is warmed up perfectly (I believe they ask you if you want it warmed up).

[Side note, I usually order a coffee or cappuccino from a coffee shop in West 4th to pair beautifully with either my sweet potato or apple strudel knish]

I highly recommend coming and spreading the word about this place. It's a historical foodie destination and should be shared one knish at a time.
