The..best...knishes. period. I've gone through knish phases where we'd buy a pack and just eat those. I've also had them at Kat'z Deli but none of them compare to their knish in taste or size. Literally a hole in the wall and looks like it was built in the 30's but stopped by here just out of curiosity and saw all the reviews.
They sell a lot of savory and sweet knishes. They also sell merch should you want a keepsake. Make sure to ask for mustard on the side and they'll heat it up for you if you want to eat on the spot. Definitely recommend.

I had a red cabbage knish, and it was so great. The knish is like a mashed potato in its warm and comfort and texture inside, but the vegetal sweetness comes through from the cabbage and the thin outside has a pastry flake to it.
They kindly heated it for me and waited for me to get cash at a nearby ATM ($10 minimum to use a card!). I can't wait to go back.
