  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.

  A truly old world spot to take a trip back in time. They also have excellent knishes, many varieties. Maybe due to Covid they no longer allow in store dining but they are worth the take out experience even if you have to reheat them when you get home.

  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!
