I have a fond memory of getting a garlic and onion knish at Yonah Schimmel's before a movie screening at the old Landmark Sunshine movie theatre, which of course no longer exists. It was such a delightful treat to have while at the movies. Would love to go back for another savory knish next time I visit NYC. The interior has a great mom and pop feel, nothing fancy. The fact that this business has been around for over 100 years just makes you feel as if you are stepping back in time. Definitely a Lower East Side and New York City institution. An important cultural landmark!

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.

Good place. No frills. No fancy decor. Just decent knishes. A bit overpriced but I guess they can be on account of being instagram famous. Items were OK. The blueberry cheesecake was to die for, but the others were meh... especially the mozzarella jalapeño, which was a huge letdown.
Go once. Post it on instagram. Then move on.
