I would have to say that my favorite dessert of all-time is cheesecake. I have made quite a few and eaten quite a few at restaurants. Of all the cheesecakes that I have eaten, the most memorable one was at Junior's Restaurant in New York City. Here is their website: http://www.juniorscheesecake.com/. There are four locations with the original being in Brooklyn. I have eaten at the one in Times Square about 4 times (pictured). Twice on two different trips to NYC. One reason that I like them so much is the way that they combine cake and toppings with the cheesecake. I wish that I lived close enough to try all of them, but since I don't, I can only say that once I tried the Devil's Food Cheesecake that I was hooked (see picture). I will say that the picture does not do it justice because it is about 6 inches high. I can't finish a piece in one sitting. 
This Christmas I tried to recreate the tower of goodness at home (with limited success). I made a Red Velvet Cheesecake and one like the Devil's Food Cheesecake. The key is to combine layers of cake, icing, and cheesecake. I may try it again, but I'm afraid that if I am too successful, I will want to eat the entire cheesecake. Feel free to post your favorite cheesecake spot or recipe.
