YONAH SCHIMMEL KNISH BAKERY

  This is an iconic and go to spot in the Lower East Side to have a sweet or savory (or both) knish!

I always make the walking trip to order a sweet potato or apple strudel knish to start my morning or have as an afternoon snack. I find comfort in getting it warmed up at the ideal temperature so I can easily bite in and enjoy while sitting at a nearby park or walking and snacking.

The cashier I usually see is very kind and makes sure the knish is warmed up perfectly (I believe they ask you if you want it warmed up).

[Side note, I usually order a coffee or cappuccino from a coffee shop in West 4th to pair beautifully with either my sweet potato or apple strudel knish]

I highly recommend coming and spreading the word about this place. It's a historical foodie destination and should be shared one knish at a time.

  The person behind the counter was adorable suite and incredibly helpful. The conditions look and taste amazing, the fact that they're kosher is a bonus. Go check them out.

  I live in So. Florida and have had access to at least 12 different local businesses that sell knishes. I have tried them all and have not found a single one that compares to Yonah Schimmel knishes. I happen to be a knish maven (expert) and eat knishes for breakfast, lunch, dinner and snack time. Trust me when I tell you that there are none better. My order arrived in perfect condition and not a single knish was crushed. If I stilled lived in NYC, I'd be picking up a dozen every other week. This is a first rate business who truly are masters of their craft. I just recvd my order of 18 knishes today and I am in knish heaven. Keep up the great work Y.S. Truly the best knishes in the USA
