@ Yonah Shimmel's Bakery, New York

This bakery that has been selling knishes from its original location on Houston Street, Lower East Side, Manhattan, since 1890!

 

According to *The Underground Gourmet* (a collection of restaurant reviews by Milton Glaser and Jerome Snyder), "No New York politician in the last 50 years has been elected to office without having at least one photograph showing him on the Lower East Side with a knish in his face." [cited by Asimov, Eric. "$25 and Under", The New York Times, December 27, 1996.]
