This was a fun shop to visit during our walk around the Lower East Side. We were there late in the day so unfortunately a lot of their options were sold out; recommend going earlier in the day if you want more variety. We got the basic potato Knishes and they were warm and very flavorful.

The best knishses anywhere....the store, kind of a dump. It's been there for 100+ years....and it looks it. Driving to NYC tomorrow to get some Yonah Schimmel.

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!
