S & S Cheesecake Inc. — Restaurant in New York

I'm one of the original customers. Yes, I am old. Ages ago, S &S was a well kept secret in the catering world. I truly believe they set the standard. My Father was in the food business, and he would bring home the GIANT cheesecakes for parties and family events. It was a special treat. As an adult, I lived with my wife in Riverdale. It was great to be able to get a cake from the Bodega or Candy store on their block. Until recently, I had never seen S & S's gate open, because they worked through the night. I went there 2 days ago and it was a happy sight to see it open, on a very busy street. We also lived in downtown Brooklyn, and I felt that Junior's was all about hype. The obvious difference is quality, and a touristy establishment versus an artist who has always been consistent. The newly self annointed FOODIE experts continuely show their ignorance. But they are loud. I have learned that people who are loud, are usually wrong. Thank you S & S for being a memorable part of my life. Thank you for always being the example of how a quality food business should be run. BIG...

I'm not a cake and sweets dessert person, but I've had S&S at parties, or something, and people have asked me to pick one up on the way to work a couple of times, since it's right near the subway I'm preferential to Italian cheesecake, but yes, it is the best cheesecake. It comes in one flavor, plain. No toppings available, and no toppings needed. In fact, if you eat cheesecake as infrequently as me, having a topping just covers up your once in a decade taste of cheesecake. And, if it's once a decade, you might as well have the best. Just walk over to the (small) factory door. knock, wait a minute until someone with an apron and hair net comes to the door, hand them the money for the size you want (large or small-and if you are taking the subway, be aware that large is like carrying a pizza) and in a minute, someone will come back with your cake. If it's closed, just look for a sign in the window of a few stores within a block that sell it, you you won't be...

I ordered a cheesecake to be sent to my sister who I'm visiting. My sister and I have been ordering these same cheesecakes for over 20 years... What a disappointment.. they've obviously changed the recipe.. the crust was weird and kind of greasy.. and the cheesecake was dry and actually crumbly... it looked different... it TASTED old and dry but more than THAT... the recipe has to have changed because the crust even LOOKED different... And.. the cheesecake is at least a pound less than the weight the proclaim... I ordered a five pound cheesecake and the Fedex scale read 4 pounds.. including the box..? Really.?.. I love good cheesecake but I'll be going elsewhere.. it's in the refrigerator and it would normally have been long...
