Junior's Cheesecake - It's New York's most famous cheesecake, but is it New York's best? While its fans are many, others are not so impressed: New York Magazine cited its "unsettlingly artificial flavor" and named it one of the city's most overrated restaurants of 2005. This 50+ year old Brooklyn landmark has sought a wider audience in recent years by selling its cakes on television's QVC and opening a satellite restaurant on NYC tourist mecca Times Square.

Eli's Cheesecake - Chicago is famous for its gut-busting culinary landmarks, including Lou Malnati's deep dish pizza, Italian beef sandwiches, Vienna Beef hot dogs and Eli's huge selection of flavored cheesecakes.
