I want to order a Strawberry Cheesecake for Thanksgiving ,and am looking for suggestions? I had Juniors in Nyc last year ,and it was awesome , but I am looking for more of MoM and Pop place to order a cheesecake this year. Any ideas?

How about making your own?

chicfarmer1 · 19 November 2011, 03:01 AM

Agree that Juniors is as good as NYC style gets. If they ship, I'd go with them. But I've always had success with Zabar's for shipped baked goods.

Since you're in OH, how about Corky and Lenny's in Cleveland? Pretty good...not close to how great Lou and Hy's was in Akron, but whatcha gonna do.

Edit: even better, check if Jeni's has a cheesecake ice cream. Thinking outside the box here.

Don't know about mom and pop but the Cheesecake Factory has some incredible cakes

I ordered from Junior's last year ,and it was great, just looking for something not so commercialized.

I was at Corky' and Lennys last month , and had a corned beef and pastrami reuben, good stuff , but I prefer Jacks. Funny , I had a Grandfather Hy and his brother's name was Lou.

I will check Zabar's

chicfarmer1 · 19 November 2011, 03:49 AM

I was curious and checked the Zabar's website, and lo and behold...they sell Junior's.

Ah well, there it is.

Corned beef and pastrami: I hope you had a companion! Or a styro box for the leftovers, lol.

Well if money is no issue then consider Dean and Deluca's their stuff is pretty amazing, not cheap, but good

rr-nyc · 19 November 2011, 04:05 AM

Juniors is okay but Eileen's is the best in the city

I once paid $72 for a Key Lime Pie from the Blond Giraffe. They've closed, little wonder. I must have been on crack. It was good, but $72?

Veneiros on 11 st & 1 ave in manhattan.... its an "italian cheesecake" like no other...
must taste before casting vote.

and Juniors is awesome... been enjoying it for about 30 years.

Rags · 19 November 2011, 06:43 AM

Juniors has the best cheesecake & they will ship anywhere.

Art 1 · 19 November 2011, 07:05 AM

Carnegie Deli in NYC has the best cheesecake that I have ever had, don't know if they ship or not.

Rbdport · 19 November 2011, 11:48 AM

I actually have the recipe for the best cheesecake, but I'm forbidden to share it outside the family. :). But if you're looking to buy, I put in my vote for Carnegie Deli. And NY style cheesecake should always be accompanied by a glass of B&B!
