Yonah Schimmel began by selling his products (just potato and kasha first) on the beach in Brooklyn's Coney Island. Schimmel also sold his wife's homemade products from a pushcart on the Lower East Side before opening the store on Houston Street in 1910. Yonah Schimmel knishes are handmade, baked (never fried), and filled with a wide

variety of ingredients to a "pleasantly bulbous" size that can serve as an entire meal. At Schimmel's, knishes are baked in the basement of the store and brought up to customers on a dumbwaiter. Notice how the name 'Shimmel' is spelled 2 ways by the owners? Look at the sign then use the link above to visit their website and look at that spelling!

Did you know?

August 2010 -- Do you know who this lovely naked lady is? Why of course you do! She has the number one pop music hit of the summer with, "California Girls" (featuring Snoop Dogg). Well if Ms Katy Perry doesn't melt your popsicle yet, wait until you see the album cover for her new album!

Her new album is titled, "Teenage Dream". The album cover artist is Mr Will Cotton, a lower east side artist whose work Ms Perry greatly admires. They became a most effective creative force with Mr Cotton serving as artistic director for the wildly successful video for California Girls. File: Naked Katy Perry album cover
