Junior's, Brooklyn, NY

My sister lives in Brooklyn so whenever I visit New York City I have to make a mandatory Junior's cheesecake run. There are two commercial cheesecakes that satisfy my cheesecake craving. The first would be Junior's and second is Cheesecake Factory. But if I had to choose between the both of them Junior's wins hands down. The difference is that Junior's uses a sponge cake as their crust. While other places use a traditional graham cracker crust. The sponge cake layer is a nice addition to the cheesecake and they can build other unique flavors. My favorite flavors of cheesecake are the Carrot Cake and Devil's Food Cake.

This cake was dry and I was disappointed by it. I was expecting a moist and flavorful slice of cake.

The shortcake was my second favorite dessert. The shortcake was moist and the fresh whipped cream with the strawberry topping was divine.

My favorite cheesecake by far, it's so rich I can only savor a small piece at a time.
