  Awesome place! Particularly enjoy blueberry and cherry knishes. Anticipate ordering to go but we'll worth the trip.

  This is a New York landmark. Having grown up in New York I have fond memories of this place and it really hasn't changed much over the years.
The knishes are delicious and they have more variety than the kasha and potato knishes of my youth,
Delicious borscht .
If you are in NYC treat yourself to a fun experience.
This place is not fancy, it's a small space but really authentic food.

  I have a fond memory of getting a garlic and onion knish at Yonah Schimmel's before a movie screening at the old Landmark Sunshine movie theatre, which of course no longer exists. It was such a delightful treat to have while at the movies. Would love to go back for another savory knish next time I visit NYC. The interior has a great mom and pop feel, nothing fancy. The fact that this business has been around for over 100 years just makes you feel as if you are stepping back in time. Definitely a Lower East Side and New York City institution. An important cultural landmark!
