My friend Stewart dragged me to Yonah Schimmel's on one of our explorations of the City. Our goal is to amaze the other guy with his city knowledge. Well, Stew amazed me with my meal at this nearly 100 year old establishment. I had a thing called a knish made from potatoes. A potato knish is a mashed potato snowball cooked or more accurately baked with spices. They have other flavors but go for the potato - you'll love it. Like most "soul" food, a knish is a simple, filling and slightly fattening dish. I prefer mine with brown mustard but you could follow your own heart and still come away with a taste treat. Add a cream soda and you have just become a real New Yorker. This place is a treasure. Go, you'll thank me.
