Knish Nosh

It's firm enough to cut with a knife.

A knish — in this instance you know, of course, to pronounce the "k" — consists of a filling surrounded by a dough shell. It can be totally sheathed in dough and deep-fried, like the rectangular packets of mashed potato stocked by many street vendors, or it can be a bulkier cup of dough that's baked, like the knishes served at Yonah Schimmel and here in Forest Hills. Shown is a kasha knish ($3.25), a traditional Eastern European version filled with buckwheat groats, withdrawn from the oven not long before. For dine-in customers, Knish Nosh offers a handful of tables provisioned with squirt bottles of yellow Hebrew National deli mustard; on the kasha, it's not needed.

unfortunately the Yonah Schimmel knish has become too bulky and less tasty.

gone are the good old days of yesteryear and the perfect deli food served on the lower east side.

the deli scene flourished on houston street and most of second avenue (up to 10th street).

I was there a couple of weeks ago. Their space is now halved and the second half is walled off and going to be rented.

Potato Knish's [&&] Franks In A Blanket Was Something I Looked Forward To Back In 1997-2002. I Remember When Knish Nosh Was Across The Street Originally (Current Starbucks Location) - I Used To Go Their Almost Daily . When I Returned In 2009 , The Worker Still Remembered Me From Being A Young Child . When I Took My First Bite In Over 6 Years - Nostalgia Hit Me !!! Still As Good As It Was Back In The Day !
