5. Junior’s Most Fabulous Cheesecake & Desserts. Multiple locations including 386 Flatbush Avenue EXT (Brooklyn), a bakery and restaurant within Grand Central Terminal, and West 45th Street (Times Square). Opened in 1950 by Harry Rosen, Junior’s has since become a landmark for NY cheesecake lovers. My favorite Junior’s cake is the chocolate mousse cheesecake combining a layer of cheesecake on the bottom with a top layer of light creamy chocolate mousse and then covered in a chocolate coating. They have many other variety of cakes and cheesecakes and have an online site to order their NY cheesecakes for home delivery at www.juniorcheesecake.com
4. Monteleone Bakery & Cafe. 355 Court Street, Brooklyn. This Brooklyn bakery is popular amongst many of the locals. A warm place with all your favorite baked goods and a spectacular cheesecake. The cheesecakes are creamy, crumbly and not too sweet. Superb and classic!
3. Veniero’s Pasticceria & Caffe. 342 East 11th Street, East Village. This old world style Italian cafe offers New York Cheesecake, Italian Cheesecake and Sicilian Cheesecake and many other cakes and pastries. The cheesecake is perfectly creamy, fluffy and melts in your mouth. A great place to enjoy your slice of cheesecake along with a great cup of cappuccino. See: NYC’s 10 Best Coffee & Tea Shops
2. Two Little Red Hens. 1652 2nd Avenue, Upper East Side. This warm bakery and dessert shop offers the true definition of a New York cheesecake: rich, light, and a perfect balance of tart and sweet. A charming bakery to stop by with friends. Warning: the cheesecakes go fast, so go as early as possible.
1. S & S Cheesecake. 222 West 238th Street, Bronx. S & S cheesecakes are made of all natural ingredients and have unbelievable texture, aroma and flavor. This factory is nothing special to look at, but the cheesecake is incomparable. Worth the trip to the Bronx, or order online at sscheesecake.com to deliver their amazing cheesecake.

S&S Cheese cake. Wow, I went and was let down. The cake was fresh but had not real taste. All fresh but not blending of flavor. Sorry, but I remember when Junior and others made the best cheese cake like the old Boggy movie looking for the best cheese cake in NYC. S&S is not great, hype is fair at best.
Carnegie’s on 7th avenue, 57th street has to be the best. Will be craving it for the rest of my life!
JUNIORS CHEESECAKE SHOULD BE RENAMED “JUNIORS CREAM CHEESE CAKE”
When I was a kid, I would walk to Juniors and buy and eat a whole cheesecake myself – that’s how good it was. It was light, pleasant, delicious and had the better balance of cheese to cream cheese. In comparison to this fabulous oldie cake, the one they sell today is a good cake but it is heavy and taste like it’s 90% CREAM CHEESE and loads of sugar. It’s a shame that they cheapened their cakes and don’t believe that anyone out there noticed the difference. Now I bought a whole cake the other day, but didn’t eat the whole pie at once. Ate once a day only. And being that I no longer live so close to Juniors anymore, I absolutely feel no motivation to go trucking down there from the other side of town for this cake. thank youl
