Yonah Schimmel Knishes. This Savory Knishes pack features six of Yonah Schimmel’s most popular savory flavors—potato, kasha, sweet potato, spinach, mixed vegetable, and mushroom. Yonah Schimmel Knishes are kosher and vegan.

Ever since the 1890s, when rabbi Yonah Schimmel began selling knishes from a pushcart and then a storefront, Yonah Schimmel Knishes has been a neighborhood fixture on New York City’s Lower East Side. The Oldest Knishery in America still makes knishes the old-fashioned way — hand wrapping a filling of potatoes or kasha (buckwheat grain) with a thin layer of dough before sending it to the oven to bake. In addition to the traditional potato and kasha knishes, this Jewish bakery makes modern flavors as well, like sweet potato, mushroom, broccoli, and sweet cheese.

Challah has been part of the William Greenberg repertoire since the kosher bakery opened on Madison Avenue in 1946, and this set brings home three braided loaves. The crumb is so tender and rich it verges on cake, holding up equally to butter and jam at breakfast or a weekend batch of French toast. It comes from the Upper East Side bakery that has kept New Yorkers in black & white cookies and rugelach for nearly eighty years. Perfect for a Shabbat table, a holiday breakfast, or a French toast Sunday that deserves a proper loaf.

New York Magazine calls it the best black & white cookie in the city, and it comes from William Greenberg Desserts, an Upper East Side fixture since 1946. Bigger than a hand, the cookie is really a soft, cake-like round, split down the middle in the bakery’s signature fondant, one half dark chocolate and one half vanilla. It’s the treat Ina Garten and O Magazine both champion, still made at the Madison Avenue flagship nearly eighty years on. Perfect for a taste of home for a transplanted New Yorker, an afternoon coffee, or a first encounter with the real thing.
