BRIEF: “Smooth and light, soft and creamy, heavenly and delicious. The Junior’s cake that started it all. Our Original New York Cheesecake is always baked fresh on a delicious bottom layer of buttery light sponge cake. Rated the best overall cheesecake by The Wall Street Journal.” SOOT’S TAKE: My first ever cheesecake in New York. It is smooth, creamy and surprisingly lighter than I expected it to be as all other NY-style cheesecakes I’ve had outside of NY have been dense.
