Junior's Restaurant & Bakery

Junior's is a Brooklyn landmark best known for New York-style cheesecake, but the original restaurant is also a classic diner-style stop near Downtown Brooklyn. It belongs on a CityLens food route because the cheesecake is inseparable from the place that made it famous.

Junior's opened in 1950 and Goldbelly describes it as America's best-known New York cheesecake institution.

The original Brooklyn location is the most meaningful CityLens stop. Save room for cheesecake even if you come for a full meal.
