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.

  Old world knishes since 1910. Best in the city. Soft like a pillow, same recipe since the day they opened.

  Well, first time at this long running knish business that sells amazing products. We had passed by the other day and saw some trays of goodies in the window. As luck would have it, our travels brought us here before stopping at Katz's so we had to check it out. While there was nothing in the window and the sign did display open, we thought they were closed. Thankfully no and they had product in the back.

While the savory knishes sounded good, we settled on the blueberry one.

It's got some hefty to it and I'm curious to know what is all in the filling. It has the tartness and creaminess of cream cheese which is probably one of the ingredients along with farmers cheese.

It's decadent and something I'm going to savor slowly. The "crust" is very thin similar to a crepe.

Definitely give this place a try and continue to support this local business. I'll be back for more!
