YONAH SCHIMMEL KNISH BAKERY

  This is a New York landmark. Having grown up in New York I have fond memories of this place and it really hasn't changed much over the years.
The knishes are delicious and they have more variety than the kasha and potato knishes of my youth,
Delicious borscht .
If you are in NYC treat yourself to a fun experience.
This place is not fancy, it's a small space but really authentic food.

  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.
