The Beast Awakens....

Before you have a knish, before the dough or the potato peeling, you gotta do some cryin'...

....for one day only! KnisheryNYC is firing up the ovens this week for the Grub Street event this coming Sunday, October 20th. Last year we manned our own booth and blew through over 500 knishes and 800 minis. This year, we will be supplying the fine folks at local beer/cheese/sundry purveyors Malt & Mold with a strictly limited number of the following:

• Potato & Caramelized Onion Knish
• Pastrami & Coriander Knish

and if we can master the recipe this week, a very limited number of....

• Kn'oissants, a mash up of a croissant and a cheese knish. Because we never try to jump on a trend. (Isn't a mash up of a croissant and a cheese knish a cheese danish? Well, if a mash up of a donut and croissant is not a damn French Cruller, than damn it, I'm going with Kn'oissant™!)

Fresh, hot, knishilicious! See you Sunday!

KnisheryNYC: the Rolling Stones of Knishes?

Kniss

Just because the Stones don't put out a record or tour for 8 years, it doesn't mean they don't exist anymore. KnisheryNYC is hardly an aged classic rock dinosaur pretending they still interest anyone under the age of 30, but it looks like Summer '13 will find KNYC in stand-by mode. Mr. Potatohead is working on his side project, Onyn "Tears" Caramelingo has checked into rehab and Doughboy McGee just needs to stretch out. (Sorry.) In addition, the guy who bakes the knishes has accepted a full-time gig from his pre-knish career that may roll into Fall.

After non-stop crying for 4 weeks, Onyn became roomies with Lindsay.

However, we will continue to supply Malt & Mold with knishes, so you an always taste the knishiness whenever you're on the Lower East Side. We just dropped a fresh load off this past week, which included:

• Potato & Caramelized Onion
• Spinach & Roasted Garlic
• Pastrami & Potato
• Kasha

In the next few weeks, I will post more details about special orders and catering for parties. Basically, as long as the order is large enough with enough lead time, the Knishery NYC ovens can be lit up on demand!

Until your next knish,

Noah

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.

Passover Knish? Order by tomorrow!

We are close to our capacity in the kitchen, so we are only accepting a few more orders for Passover knishes! Place your order by 5pm tomorrow (Wednesday March 20th) or forever hold your peace! Or at least until next year.

Place your orders for Passover Knishes!

It's that time o' year again! We've hibernated all winter, totally exhausted from our debut at Hester Street and our blow-out at Grub Street, but now....what's that smell? Matzo? Marror? The....blood of the first born?!

Passover is such a knishy holiday, despite there being no knish on the seder plate. Food is so codified in the Passover tradition that it ain't Passover unless there is a dinner involved, preferably with multiple courses and plenty of side dishes. I'm not saying you should skip the gefilte or replace the matzo balls with knish-balls, but sure our traditional baked dumplings would be at home on the table! So we're proud to announce:

Knishery NYC is baking 3 kinds of knishes for Passover this season! There are three kinds on offer:

• Traditional Potato & Onion
• Sweet Potato & Butternut Squash
• Spinach & Roasted Garlic

All three will be made with a specially formulated dough that uses kosher for Passover matzoh meal and flour. NOTE: Though most of the ingredients in these knishes will be kosher for Passover & all will be pareve & and kept separate from all trief foods, they will NOT be cooked in a kosher kitchen or hechshered by a rabbi.We just don't have the resources for that....yet!

Knishes are vegetarian. They are NOT vegan (eggs) or gluten free (wheat).

Mix and match any three kinds in your order in any quantity. Place your order by Thursday, March 21st, and you will be able to either pick them up at Malt & Mold on Friday 22nd through Monday the 25th, noon to 8pm. OR have them delivered to you via the knish bike on Sunday the 24th anywhere in NYC*.

• 1-9 knishes: $3.50 each + tax
• 10-19 knishes $3 each + tax
• 20+ knishes: $2.50 each + tax

Cash only at point of pick up/delivery. They will arrive cold, and will hold up in the refrigerator quite well for up to a week. [Reheat in oven at 325 degrees for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.] If travelling more than 3 hours without refrigeration, freezing is strongly recommended.

To order, email knisherynyc(at)gmail.com; you will receive a confirmation email. We have limited capacity; orders placed will be filled first come, first serve.

*Delivery zone limited to anywhere in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx. Deliveries to be made via the knisher's own cargo bicycle. So here is your chance to meet KnisheryNYC in 3-D! Rough delivery times assigned a  day before delivery. In case of scheduling issues, limited deliveries can be made on Wednesday and early Friday morning. No extra charge for delivery. So be nice, not a nudgenik!
