Three chances to taste KnisheryNYC for free!

Once we get you hooked, we know you'll be back for more. Knishes have that effect on people. After all, all the cool kids are doing it...

Hello fellow knishophiles,

There are a bunch of things bubbling for the Spring and Summer, but I can only announce three of them right now. Fortunately for you, two of the three involve you tasting some KnisheryNYC knishes for the amazing price of FREE!

The film for which we were interviewed and filmed while making knishes, If These Knishes Could Talk, is finally being released and they're doing a round of storytelling events in every borough of the city. KnisheryNYC will be at two of the events, feeding gratis minis to a noshing crowd. Either follow this link, or  peep these details: we'll be at two of these free events, giving out samples of our wares:

Groovy, huh? In addition, we are supplying mini-knishes to Malt & Mold so they can just give 'em away (along with beer and cheese tastings!) for their one year anniversary on Sunday, May 5th! Full sized knishes will also be available for sale and take-away.

Lastly, KnisheryNYC will be the lead sponsor of the Bluecard Team in the Five Boro Bike Tour again this year. The Bluecard is a charity that gives funds and services to Holocaust survivors who live in the United States. For more details and the opportunity to sponsor us, click here. In addition, any KnisheryNYC customer who donates $200 or more will receive two dozen knishes of your choice! (Deliverable only in NYC and NJ towns accessible by PATH.) To donate for the knishes, click here and write, "GIMME THE KNISHES" in the donor comments, and I'll be in touch within 24 hours to make arrangements!

Thanks for reading, and be feeding you soon.

My Knishes TALK!

If these knishes could talk, what would they say? Well, the two fine people pictured below came to KnisheryNYC headquarters yesterday and spent a few hours finding out. They were kinda disappointed to find that knishes are actually just inanimate objects that you are supposed to eat, but once they got over it, they filmed me making our signature knishes and talking about three things I consider myself an expert in:

• Myself
• Makin' 'nishes
• New York (because all native NYers are experts in NYC, fugeddaboudit)

Heather & Mitch, knish-anthropomorphisers

Heather & Mitch have been working on a documentary about New York City accents called If These Knishes Could Talk for over half a decade, and now that they are near the end of filming, they found they were light on actual knish content. I asked Heather why she'd feature the knish in the title of her passion project that ostensibly was not about knishes, she replied, "I was hungry." After an awkward pause that never happened because she didn't say that, she explained that to her, the knish was a proud and uniquely NYC icon that still exists, but seems to have faded a bit in recent decades, just like the Noo Yawk accent.

Did they go to a dirty water dog cart for their knish? NO! Did they go to the Gabilla factory to check out a big machine stamping out doughy yellow fried potato bombs? NO! Did they  go to Smorgasburg and change the name of their doc because Heather discovered Korean Tacos? NO! They came to the Lower East Side, and filmed me giving birth (excuse me, boith) to these little ones:

From left to right, from top: Hymie, Nachum, Malka, Elie, Schlomo, Milli, Edie, Edna, Milty, Aggie, Miriam, Harry, Sara, Herschel, Hershel, Hershell, Rodrigo and Sol.

And guess what? After Heathala and Mitchala took their fare share, the rest of the kids are now at Malt & Mold ready to be adopted! Just think! You can be eating a famous knish that is starring in a big moderate budget Hollywood NYC action adventure documentary!

Speaking of Malt & Mold, they're having a beer tasting this Saturday (8/11) from 4 to 7pm. On hand will be a whole mess of mini knishes (spinach & roasted garlic, pastrami and potato & caramelized onion) for sampling with your beer. Huzzah!

And no, that was not the big news I've been hinting at this summer. Plans are still in the work, so stay tuned!
