I do prefer just plain cheesecake
Arguments over whose family member makes the best cheesecake aside, New York City and Brooklyn make the best cheesecakes in various bakeries.
I have eaten cheesecakes made by friends' mothers, grandmothers, brothers, sisters, aunts, uncles... and I have been told over and over, "My [relative] makes the best cheescake in the world and you will never convince me otherwise." And I don't want to convince anyone of anything. For them their relatives do make the best cheesecake, for their tastes.
But New York still makes all the best cheesecakes, for me. Adam brought home a medium plain cheesecake from Carnegie Deli, and it has that exact rich creamy fluffy thickness that I prefer in a cheesecake. No thick crust, no liquid texture in the filling. Just soft sweet fluffy thick heavy intense cream with that soft thick creamy audible sensation as the fork sinks in. I will eat a small slice every day until my Saturday birthday, and I shall be thoroughly satisfied.
I miss you, Brooklyn and Manhattan.
