cheesecake in New York

3 places for cheesecake in New York, picked by creators — with what they said.

Eileen's Special Cheesecake — Jon Barr
Named as a favorite cheesecake in New York, and they also sell small sizes that are easy for tourists to carry around.
Junior's — Jon Barr
Convenient location in Midtown near 49th and 45th Streets, and open until midnight on weekdays and 1am on weekends, which is handy for late nights.
Heads up: The Midtown location is pricey—a slice of cheesecake runs $9.25, and the egg platters are also on the expensive side.
Junior's Restaurant & Bakery — National Geographic
Praised the original cheesecake as perfectly creamy with a lively vanilla flavor, with the crust merging seamlessly into the cheesecake.
Heads up: The cake shake is stacked so high it's prone to toppling over, and it's so massive it ends up all over your face.
