In the minority in this group but I like Juniors. Corn Beef hash there is excellent. I would suggest S&S cheese cake over Juniors though. That whole part of brooklyn is seeing some boom. For a long time Metro Tech was the anchor in the area.
I agree that Junior's is not what it once was, and there are better cheesecakes to be found. Junior's I do not eat traditional cheesecake, but have brought/served many. S&S is excellent, and I have also heard raves for Lady M's Gateau Fromage and Eileen's, which offers special diet cheesecakes, as well as traditional. Eileen's dairy-free option, and it was quite good, but you have to order it ahead of time, as with all of Eileen's special diet cheesecakes.

Why ? It has already gone.Better to say it was sad to see it go even though it is technically still there. Same for Carnegie Deli and many other NY "institutions" that have become nothing more than tourist traps coasting downhill on nostalgia.
I'd prefer a worn out institution of yesteryear, than yet another f'n condo. Even if the food sucks...
The great restaurant Junior's known across the world for its cheesecake, has been offered $45 million to vacate the premises by developers, and he turned it down.....citing that " he loves the place so much, and you do not sell what you love."
Would you have taken the money and run........
To be quite frank, their cheesecake sucks. The only reason they're so popular here is because they've been around for so long and they numbed everyone's tastebuds
