WHERE TO EAT The best Knish in the world (according to food experts)

"These little specimens are light and fluffy, and they taste not like flour and grease but like baked potatoes."

"You can’t go wrong with classic potato or kasha, though we like the decidedly less traditional jalapeño knish here, when available as a special."

"It features a heavenly array including pillowy, fresh-out-of-the-oven knishes (Eastern European–style potato dumplings wrapped in dough)."

"Go with potato if you're feeling traditional; otherwise, try the broccoli, which is fluffier and tastier than the potato, or the kasha, an Eastern European grain."

"Deep fried but never greasy, with just the right amount of seasoning and ever-warm, softly pureed middles, the knishes were delicious, filling and priced right."

"Knishes are typically stuffed with potato, kasha and spinach, but in this old-school Hasidic eatery, the pastrami knish is the way to go: Its golden shell of fried potato reveals steaming hot pastrami just begging for a squirt of mustard."

"Of course, we ordered the knish. These handmade, potato-filled pockets are a perfect starter or side dish. Just make sure you order enough for everyone to have their own."
