Junior's is a Brooklyn landmark that now has two Manhattan locations, atGrand Central Terminal and Times Square. Sure, Junior's has burgers and fried chicken, but it's not their dinners that have put them on the map as a famous New York City restaurant. It's the cheesecake people rave about, their decadently smooth signature dessert.
What makes it famous?
Junior's has perfected a family recipe and process (which hasn't changed since 1950) to create what is known as "The World's Most Fabulous Cheesecake". When the Brooklyn restaurant caught fire in 1981, people gathering on the street yelled, "Save the cheesecake!" Bill Clinton and former NYC Mayor Rudy Giuliani are just a few of the famous faces who have partaken in Junior's cheesecake.
