Revisiting Yonah Shimmel Knish Bakery

After watching Anthony Bourdain's excellent No Reservations Disappearing Manhattan last night, I wanted to post one place he didn't visit, the stomach warming Yonah Shimmel Knish Bakery. Creamy goodness abounds at the Lower East side favorite where the knish and kuegel are simply yummy, as they have been for, I imagine, 100 years.

I have no idea what a knish or kuegel is but that bakery looks super amazing! Love the atmosphere of it.
I watch Bourdain last night but he was in DC, missed the Manhattan episode!

Judy said...

Yum! Now I'm hungry.

I'm with Tanya here. I don't know anything about knish or kuegel, but I want one!

I'm sorry I missed Anthony's Manhattan episode. This looks like a place I need to visit asap. I love the entire shop as well as how the food is displayed. Perfect!

Mmm... Schimmel's Knishes ... since moving to NJ, I really miss the yummy goodness.

Can't see how he was drinking a Guinness since McSorley's only serves two ales (dark and light, their own brew). Is Bourdain a smuggler?!

Oh, I love this place. Wonder how much the rent is for the place next door?

Ah, YES!!! That's what I am talking about!! Remember? I grumbled last time. This is what I wanted to see: this old charm interior. You forgot the crazy little tables but that is ok. I'm absolving you.
Good job, my friend.

Oh, man. Now this hurts!

They had the best knishes on the planet.

This is what you have to give up when you leave NYC for other places.

There's nothing like Yonah Shimmel's. My dad, who grew up in the 'hood when YS's was a new store, told me all about it. And Katz's.

But I wonder if the Shimmel's still own or run it.

Sigh. It's almost midnight here in Oakland, a continent away, and I'm craving a Yonah Shimmel Knish right now.

Fed Ex?

I thought it was strange that he didn't mention that he was drinking a Guinness in the oldest pub in NYC, McSorley's (est. 1854!)...wonder why he didn't mention that...

He wasn't in McSorley's, he was in Sophie's on 5th btwn A and B.

Though Sophie used to only have light and dark options as well. I don't know when that changed

Oh, I remember that place when I was visiting NY a couple of years ago. A friend took us there and the Knish were so yummy! Thanks for reminding me!

wow!

Will Hennessy said...

gotcha. it looked like McSorleys from the outside and there was a sign that said McSorleys in the window too, so that must've confused me!

Tanya Breese said...

ROFL, that's alright...Most of the ones I know are a-ok!

Love the photo, Having grown up a child in my Fathers stores I just love the old time look. That wooden display case is wonderful.

OMG,, he ships out? Does he do bagels, too?

Jill said...

They also serve an incredibly delicious borscht, in a cup, like a drink. It's my favorite.
