Good old fashioned knishes!!!
I love their knishes, since I was a child. And my dad who grew up near their store always took me there. I shopped there often as an adult.
We moved out of state recently, so I ordered through their online platform Gold belly for the Passover Holiday.
I am so disappointed as 1/2 of my order of knishes were crushed in spots and not appealing to serve to my guests. They were rolling around in the box. A shame as the product is expensive 🥲
A neighborhood staple serving delicious knishes with various add-in’s. Broccoli and mushroom are my personal favorites.
