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!

  Finally got to try this place after months of passing by, and either missing opening times, or having an appetitie. Got to the shop at around 4 pm and the potato knish ran out.

We got Kasha (buckwheat), mushroom, red cabbage, and vegetable, all to-go. We got home to Heat it up first by microwave 1 minute, then toasted it for 5 minutes which worked out perfectly.

First bite was into Kasha...delicious! So much better than I expected and than it looks. As were the rest. Especially with the portable cups of mustard. The red cabbage and Kasha werethe stars. Next time would try the sweet potato one.

  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.
