New York City - Best Places to Get NY Cheesecake

New York, New York! So good they named it twice. If you can make it here you can make it anywhere, or so they say. NYC has been home to numerous films and TV shows, it’s hard to feel lost here, despite its size,there’s always something you recognise.

From its towering skyscrapers to the seemingly never-ending greenery of Central Park, NYC entrances  its visitors. There just seems to be something about this iconic city that reels you in and doesn’t let go, always bringing you back, leaving you wanting more. Perhaps it's the history? This melting pot city has been central to US history and it always comes out stronger.  Maybe  it’s the famous fashion? From 5th Av, to NY Fashion Week and Project Runway. Or the stories on which NYC was built? Those who traveled so far to catch that glimpse of that famous first sight of that famous statue. Those "huddled masses yearning to breathe free".

Whether it’s the world famous hot-dog vendors found on every corner or Manhattan’s top restaurants, no-one can deny NYC has delicious food. Bagels,coffee, hot-dogs and deli’s, NYC is home to them all. But one speciality has been reinvented here - cheesecake!  NY Cheesecake wasn’t concocted until early 1900s and was the creation of German immigrant, Arnold Reuben. There are some great places in New York to find this signature dish. On the Upper East Side, there is the Two Little Red Hens where you can get delicious flavours from plain NY to pumpkin and everything is made in-house. Next up, in Brooklyn, is Juniors. This 65 year old cheesecakery is a must visit! For $6.50 a slice, you can taste this delicacy which is almost as famous the dish itself. Finally, in the East Village, pop along to Eileen’s Special Cheesecake. Established in 1975, this bakery has over 20 flavours of NY cheesecakes passed down by the owner’s mum. Can’t get more NYC than that!
