📖 The Story Behind This Dish

New York cheesecake is said to have developed in Jewish delis in New York in the early 20th century and is known for its extremely rich, dense texture. Lots of cream cheese, eggs, and sour cream are slowly baked on a graham cracker base. At the city's long-established delis and bakeries, slices as big as your palm are served, and it's loved worldwide as New York's signature sweet.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At a long-established New York deli, a slice is cut from a huge cheesecake in the display case — the famous sweet.
