I love (fourless) cheesecake and make it at Thanksgiving every year. So I'm not saying people don't want it. I'm saying
New York cheesecake isn't really a thing. It's just fucking cheesecake.

I recently ate a knish at Yonah Schimell Knishery. It wasn't worth the calories I had to block out. It fucking sucked. And the place was crawling with tour groups.

Let me tell you something. I lament the disappearance of the hot dog guy/corner knish. Those things fucking filled you up and were fantastic. One of those butter-potato bricks could hold you over for a week. Extra mustard of course.
Damn, man. They're fucking
gone. And the ones in the Jewish delis have
never been as good. MSG used to do them really well too. Gone.
