YONAH SCHIMMEL KNISH BAKERY

  Recently stopped in on. Sunday morning while visiting New York. Got a chocolate cheese knish, blueberry knish, potato and kasha. All are delicious. The sweet knishes are cheesy, creamy and rich, and enough chocolate and blueberry to add to the flavor. The potato and kasha knishes are yummy too and froze well, didn't last long though as my family wanted to eat them! Unfortunately we went on a Sunday at 11 am when they opened so they did not have a good selection, of the sweet or savory varieties. I'm hoping next time they will as I do plan a return on my next trip!

  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.
