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

Recently stopped in on. Sunday morning while visiting New York. Got a chocolate cheese knish, blueberry knish, potato and kasha. All are delicious. The sweet knishes are cheesy, creamy and rich, and enough chocolate and blueberry to add to the flavor. The potato and kasha knishes are yummy too and froze well, didn't last long though as my family wanted to eat them! Unfortunately we went on a Sunday at 11 am when they opened so they did not have a good selection, of the sweet or savory varieties. I'm hoping next time they will as I do plan a return on my next trip!

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!
