2. Cheesecake
If you’re on vacation in the city that never sleeps, don’t skimp on dessert. There are lots of sweet treats to choose from, but you can never go wrong with cheesecake. New York City is world-famous for its cheesecake and many restaurants and bakeries boast about their versions of this popular treat. Restauranteur Arnold Reuben is credited with creating the first New York style cheesecake back in 1929. Smooth, rich and decadent, the classic way is plain and simple, but today most slices are adorned with all sorts of flavorful toppings. You may think you know cheesecake, but it’s simply better in the Big Apple.
