Before
Yonah Schimmel Knish BakeryYonah Schimmel sold knishes off a pushcart before taking this Houston Street storefront in 1910. The counter still sells one thing seriously, a baked knish, potato or kasha. You eat it standing or you take it away.

After
Josie'sOpened in August 2012 in the old Joe's Bar, which closed when its proprietor died. The people behind Mona's and Sophie's took it on, refinished the bar, and put the checkerboard floor and the wallpaper back in their original patterns rather than choosing new ones. Pool table and a jukebox.
