I sound like a broken record, but no cheesecake compares to S&S in the Bronx. I am glad that the Manhattan snobs at NYT have no idea what real good Jewish cheesecake tastes like. (By the way, who knew that Court St in Carroll Gardens could get so much play in the Times? Ever since Smith St, people won't leave that area alone...Jeez...)

All this talk of cheesecake. I may have to make one on Sunday. Anyone want a slice?

I don't know if the 2LRH on the UES is the original, but it's the one referenced in the Times's article on cheesecake. Overheard yesterday... Middle-aged UES Woman: Do you have any slices of cheesecake? 2LRH Staffer: No, we're sold out again. Middle-aged UES Woman: Really?!? What time do I need to be here to get one? 2LRH Staffer: Oh,sometime after 8, before 10 Middle-aged UES Woman: (Muttering on the way out the door) Well, you just should bake more!!!

I recently ate at Junior's for the first time. Junior's is funk. Ask for Levi...he will hook you up with extra corn bread and cole slaw. Substitute regular french fries for the sweet potatoe fries.

i believe i have it somewhere...you want it up here on gothamist? it didn't turn out that great, i don't think. but if you remind me when i'm home, i can send it to you. gotta love communicating to people over gothamist when you have their email, aim, and phone number.

Is the UES Two Little Red Hens the original? I always thought the Park Slope outlet was. More important: can you get a Brooklyn blackout cupcake in Manhattan?

It just goes to show the power of the Times...my girlfriend and I tried (twice!)to sample the cheesecake at Two Little Red Hens (one of the winners--- http://newyork.citysearch.com/profile/36253236?cslink=search_name_noncust&ulink=search__searchslot1_1__0_profile_148_1 )and they were sold out by 10 AM. Excellent chocolate chunk and ginger spice cookies, though. You could spend a week sampling everything in their display case. And who says the Upper East Side is a desert?
