YES!!! When I lived there, we got cheesecakes from them all the time. Good luck getting in the door during the holidays if you don't place an order ahead of time.

Eileens is great. Jr's used to be great too in the 90s. Harbs is awesome

I think you're referring to S&S Cheesecake, which has always been the "gold standard" of NY style cheesecakes for many years, and still is (living in the area as a kid, I grew up on it). It's sold in a number of restaurants around the city and the bodega next to the S&S factory on West 238th/Broadway also carries their cheesecakes. Online ordering can be done, too.

There are a number of good/very good cheesecake stores (Eileen's, Two Little Red Hens, etc), but none are quite at the level of S&S.

Junior's in-store is better than the Junior's you buy at the market.

Yes! S&S - confusing it with H&H bagels lol. Thank you for correction, it's Friday and my brain is done working!

Try trader joes cheese cake it's pretty good.

I make it in my Instant Pot sometimes. There's a lot of copy cat recipes to try and I love my Instant Pot.

I know. I know.

Stupid cheesecake. It's so delicious.

I was about to ask about this. I always see it but never tried it.

Is it light and fluffy or dense?

I'm not a fan, but this may help:
