New building construction now in the obscure the Yonah Schimmel's Knish Bakery storefront phase



Construction is still in the foundation stage for the 9-story office building coming to East Houston between Forsyth and Eldridge at the site of the former Landmark Sunshine Theater.

Meanwhile, workers have gone ahead and put up a sidewalk bridge next door that obscures the neighboring business — the 110-year-old Yonah Schimmel's Knish Bakery. They’re still here at 137 E. Houston St. for your knish and Cherry Lime Ricky needs — 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Phone: (212) 477-2858.

RIP Sunshine Theater and good luck Schimmel’s with the obscuring sidewalk bridge that will probably be there for years, everyone go buy a delish knish!

The adjacent building on the east side was also demolished

Good luck with that.

I hope the adjacent lot owner also pays for the lost business due to the scaffolding also.
