"Established in 1952, but since 2003, Knish Nosh is just as comforting as the (perfect) name suggests. The headliners at this homey Rego Park shop are obviously the dense, softball-sized knishes—which come in flavors from kasha to broccoli—but if you talk to the chef, Ana, she’ll tell you to try the pierogi. Heed her advice. The extra-wide dumplings are soft and springy, topped with sweet caramelized onions and just a spritz of black pepper. Order the brisket variety, and round out your meal with some borscht, kugel, stuffed cabbage, or chicken meatloaf. The refrigerated case up front is stuffed with such delicacies, and you’ll see neighborhood regulars coming in to stock up. " - Bryan Kim
