The moment I stepped into Yonah Schimmel's Knish Bakery, I was enveloped in a cloud of nostalgia and the irresistible scent of freshly baked dough. Their signature potato knish is a masterpiece, boasting a flaky crust that yields to a creamy potato filling, perfectly seasoned. The delightful balance of textures had me savoring every bite. I couldn't resist trying the sweet cheese knish, which was decadently rich and satisfyingly indulgent. The warm, welcoming vibe of this historic bakery adds to its charm. If you're in Manhattan, skip the ordinary and treat yourself to a knish experience that’s anything but!
