What type of cheesecake? NY (dense), Philadelphia (lighter), Japanese (hyper fluffy), or one of the Ricotta variations (possibly more authentic?)? There's a bunch of others that are less common outside their native countries, but these styles are at several places within an hour's drive, so I'm counting this list as the most common.

    never really thought about the regional types because all the best cheesecakes I've had have been home baked by someone (lucky me!) they're probably the dense NY style based on the descriptions

    i did try fluffy Japanese cheesecake and did enjoy it but as like, its own thing. it should have its own name cuz it's basically its own dessert

    ricotta style probably slaps. gotta try that

    these styles are at several places within an hour's drive

    hi fellow mid-Atlantic northeasterner lol

    Does it have a hint of lemon? NY cheesecake should have lemon or lemon zest (and cream or sour cream). Sample recipes: one, two, three, crazy four. Philadelphia cheesecake has neither -- it is a very simple recipe promoted by Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
