Finally tracked down this place! It's at 106th and 5ve Ave., right by the park entrance. I've never been to this part of Central Park before, but I have to say I'll be back. It's quiet, peaceful, and picturesque.
I know this isn't a review of Central Park, so on to Knish Nosh.
The stand sells more than knishes. There's soups: matzoh ball, chicken, and mushroom barley along with others, pretzels, and alarming assortment of Costco boxes of Grandma's cookies, and kasha varnishkes.
As expected, I ordered the sweet potato knish. The guy handed it to me wrapped in a warm knish nosh wrapper, which I opened, half expecting to find a burger inside.
But I found a cinnamon-y, crispy but slightly burnt sweet potato knish! It was pretty good – more cinnamon than Yonah Schimmel's, and the sweet potatoes were blended with regular potatoes.
My only gripe would be that dough didn't taste that fresh. A little burnt and too crispy, as I mentioned earlier, but overall a nice nosh for $4.
