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
