  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.

  "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.

  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
