Yonah Schimmel's is considered one of the Lower East Side's last remaining classic Jewish eateries, and rightly so. According to New York First (a company which sells Schimme;'s Knishes, among other New York products), Yonah Schimmel didn't originate on the LES, but down on Coney Island:
Yonah Schimmel began by selling his products (just potato and kasha first) on the beach. Schimmel's territory was Coney Island. But Schimmel also sold his wife's homemade products from a pushcart on the Lower East Side before opening the store on Houston Street in 1910.
