  Cool blast of LES history.  Knishes are great.  They are an occasional treat and great to share with others.   It used to be reasonable to ship them but now it is not.  Only get them when in NYC.

  Need a nosh? Try a Knish! I popped by this classic that has been open since 1910 and I can see why. It's simple in design but deliciously traditional.

I tried the classic potato knish and their cherry knish. The potato is like a mashed potato ball covered in a light pastry. The cherry is a sweet cheese cut in the middle with a delicious tart cherry filling.

Both are big and you can definitely split this but works well if you need some food to tide you over while running around LES.

  My first knish! So filling and tasty! This quaint shop has been there for over 113 years! Go in and give it a try, and if your an old hand at knishes, go anyway!
