Original New York Cheesecake
$9.25
The benchmark New York cheesecake with a thin sponge-cake base.
Tip: Get it plain for your first time. The texture is so good it doesn't need toppings. If you're sharing, one slice is more than enough for two people—it's very rich.

Strawberry Cheesecake
$10.50
Original cheesecake topped with a thick layer of fresh strawberry glaze.
Tip: The strawberries are glazed, not just fresh, which gives it a more classic diner dessert feel. It's the most photographed slice on the menu.
