Lonely Planet review

Here's how to make a living the old-school way - buy a pushcart c 1890, sell your wife's knishes on Coney Island, save up for a mini storefront on the LES, and turn it into a 92-year-old family business that still follows the original recipe and uses a century old dumbwaiter to haul potato, cheese, cabbage and kasha knishes up from your wood-burning stove in the cellar. One bite of a Yonah Shimmel knish and you'll be hooked.
