NewYorkFirst.com: New York Cheesecake

Cheesecake Heaven on Flatbush Avenue.

Everybody doesn't like something. But everybody likes cheesecake. And everybody knows that the only true cheesecake -- the one with unimpeachable credentials -- is New York Cheesecake.

From its corner on Flatbush Avenue in Brooklyn, Junior's Restaurant produces a tall, bronze-skinned, dense classic with an orchestration of different textures. At the core, it is cool, thick, smooth, satiny, and creamy. Radiating outward, it goes gradually from velvet to suede, then, finally, about the edges, it becomes cake-like and fine-pored. The flavor is a complex play of many exciting and subtle flavors -- sweet, tangy, and rich to boot.

For decades Brooklynites (and other New Yorkers) have come here to eat, laugh, argue and kibitz over a slice of fabled cheesecake that’s been rated "New York's Best" by New York Magazine. In the cosmology of New York restaurants, there is no dessert more universal than the cheesecake. In Cheesecake City, a quest for the best always leads to Junior’s.

Each 8-inch-large Junior's cheesecake ships direct from Brooklyn and arrives in a special, protective, stay-fresh container.
