Who hasn't heard of cheesecake? This cake with cream cheese as the main ingredient is known all over the world, but only in New York is it possible to taste the original.
As foodies will know, you can't say you've had a real cheesecake without trying the traditional New York cheesecake! It is usually made with "Philadelphia" and covered with a layer of cream and fresh fruit. A real pleasure...
The cheesecake, along with the cupcakes, is a true symbol of New York pastry. Therefore, it is almost a must to try it during your stay in the Big Apple.
The New York bakeries that sell the cheesecake are numerous and make this cake in many variations and versions. This is precisely why I believe there is a need for a "guide" to the patisseries that make the best cheesecake in town.
