This iconic bakery has been in business since 1910 and is known for its knishes which became a popular staple of the Lower East Side diet because they are both inexpensive and filling. Their knishes are baked, not fried. Learn more about this historic Jewish spot here, and try the knishes for yourself on one of Untapped New York’s tasting tours of the Lower East Side!
