Who makes the best cheesecake in New York? Is it the renowned Brooklyn restaurant Juniors? Or is it Eileen's in SoHo, where the slogan is "Made with Love?"
Our quest to find the best cheesecake may have started as a clever guise for us to have more sweets in the office, but eventually it turned into a less-than-scientific, but completely valid taste test. George Oliphant crossed three boros to find the best, but we're still not sure what his (or our) favorite is.

please i have eaten cheesecake for 30 years and from many states, and i'm sure the other bakerys product are good in there own right but no where have i had a more smooth and creamy cheese cake but in brooklyn from the famous juniors restaruant. and i'm sure if the other owners of these establishment would venture to brooklyn or order from qvc.com they would say there's is the second best cheese cake.
