BREAKING: Knishes are back!

And now for some unabashedly good news: our long, painful knish shortage is almost over.

Gabila, supplier of most of the knish's found in the city's delis, said last week that a new knish-making machine had finally arrived at its Long Island factory, five months after the original was knocked out of service by a fire.

The resulting knish shortage landed Gabila on our front page on Nov. 20.

The company says that assuming all goes according to plan, knishes will start landing in retail stores later this week.
