  Really nice little knish bakery, tasty, cheap, and filling. The potato knish is a must. The sweet knish is nice too, super rich, the entire knish is filled with cheese.
I've also heard good things about the sweet potato knish, red cabbage, and mix veggies.
Kasha knish is blend but got a strong buckwheat flavor, which is a bit weird for my taste.

  I can't claim that knishes are part of my heritage or that I had one before I came to New York but I've been here 20 years and I've had many. The knishes that I had from this shop were some of the best that I've had. I recently enjoyed the potato knish and the mushroom knish. Both were excellent. Tasty, sustaining, meatless, portable, affordable and great for the cold weather. The history with these, I wonder if it's like the original fast food from the old country. But what do I know? Cheap and delicious!

  Cool blast of LES history.  Knishes are great.  They are an occasional treat and great to share with others.   It used to be reasonable to ship them but now it is not.  Only get them when in NYC.
