How does NY style cheesecake differ from others?

N.Y. cheesecake is not as creamy...more air.

Good question. There is not a great cheesecake around that I have found. Most are prepackaged. The best is when I make it myself.

Not sure what style they are but the best ones we've found are at Lazy Acres and Whole Foods (Debbie's Delights). Fresco's isn't too bad either.

Costco was giving free samples of theirs the other day. Probably not NY Style (I'm not sure) but was damn good none the less. You can get fat really cheap at Costco :)

You can't get one in Santa Barbaria, the difference in attitudes form the Left and Right coasts won't allow it. The ones at Costco just might be as close as you're going to get to perfect. I heard they were made by New Yorkers in New Jersey.

It doesn't matter. Sad to say, cheesecake is a deadly poison. Avoid it.

There are a couple different cheesecakes available at Costco, not just theirs over by the bread, but some in the frozen section. If you want to do a comparison tasting, count me in! Yum!

And, at Simply Pies, the delicious cheesecake (and it is) is also available Gluten Free. Lots of flavors, too. Order in advance because they don't always have them in the coolers.

Next time you are up in SYV, have dinner at A-ru Sushi in Buellton and order cheesecake for dessert (take a piece home if you're too full to enjoy it after your meal)...the owner makes it herself and it is out-of-this-world delicious, and such an unexpected find at a Japanese restaurant!

Bein a fellow transplanted New Yawkar, nothing around here comes close. Los Angeles has a lot of good places but nutin like the real thingk. You can't duplicate NY style pizza, sangwiches, bread, crumbcake, or cheesecake. It's has to due with the water and the air.

You can blame the air and water for other things too. I can't imagine why anyone would want to duplicate anything from New York, It's a stinky, dirty place.

That's probably the only thing Chuck's does well. Their steaks & other grilled items certainly hold no candle to the likes of the Hitching Post or most other steak venues.

Bagels. Nothing anywhere around here like a New York bagel. Not even in Philadelphia, where I lived for a while. You get off the train in Penn station and grab a bagel, any bagel, from a deli, a food cart, a seven 'leven, anywhere, and it is undeniably New York and fabulous and not found elsewhere. On the other hand, they are totally devoid of sourdough bread back east, and how they can live like that I can't figure.

Some of these remarks are downright insulting...narrow minded and provincial. People & places differ all over the country and all around the world. Get out of Santa Barbara and travel a little bit and learn something.

NEONROSE...you're right! New York is the most fabulous city in the world...if you take a poll, most people who "hate" a certain place, have often times, never been there before! That's okay, more NYC for the rest of us!
I was there for the 911 memorial and fell hard for the Big Apple...I count the days until I can go back... Okay, back on topic...If you can't get to NYC or a comparable deli in LA...I agree, the Costco cheesecakes are pretty, pretty, pretty good.

No one has responded: what is "New York style"? Is it just cream cheese, eggs, vanilla, sugar, baked with a cookie crumb crust in a spring form pan? With or without a sour cream/sugar topping to hide cracks? In a water bath? As opposed to? Inquiring minds would like to know...
