Brighton Beach knishes
I grew up in Brighton Beach Brooklyn. By far the greatest Knishes of all time. The long gone Mrs Stahls.
Mrs. Stahl’s delicious Brighton Beach knishes
Yonah Schimmel gets credit for inventing the humble knish in 1910 at his still-thriving knishery on East Houston Street.
But knish fiends all over New York still lament the loss of Mrs. Stahl’s Knishes, a dingy place tucked under the elevated train at Brighton Beach Avenue.
The shop served up hand-made cushions of potato, kasha, and cabbage inside flaky baked dough. They were truly legendary.
