I'd always thought knishes were starchy piles, tough on the outside, doughy and potato-y on the inside and only to be eaten when thoroughly hung over. Today, I had my perspective broadened, thanks to Gleiberman's. Buttery potato, zucchini puree surrounded by toasty, light puff-pastry. Wow.\n\nThis awesome little kosher enclave sits pretty far out off of Providence road, in the Providence Square shopping center. A diner-esque restaurant adjoins the store's space. A deli counter full of classics is to the left as you enter - egg salad, kugel, kosher meats, chopped liver (and today, a huge tray of zucchini-potato knishes. Yum). Aisles full of kosher products, canned, jarred, bagged, boxed. Things I had never seen nor heard of before. Rad.\n\nFridge and freezers full-ish of kosher entrees, cheeses, tofutti, etc. Familiar brands like Tabatchnik and Ba Tampte but many, many others. Kosher wine. Shelves were a little bare- since I had stalked the place via their awesome webpage, I had expected to see more \"bounty\". Maybe Sunday was to blame.\n\nPeople were smiley to me as I wondered, poking and prodding various wares. The diner's menu, although not extremely veg-friendly, looks interesting enough. For Israeli imports and kosher products (there's a whole freezer full of weird, vegetarian \"cutlets\") this is the place. Hallah.\n\nNote: closed Saturday, open 'till 5 Mon-Thurs, late on Sunday.
