Artisanal

The one from Artisanal is great - don't be put off by the fact that it arrives mail order. I gave it to my mother for Mother's Day last year and was amazed.

Another excellent cheesecake (and my personal favorite) is from Two Little Red Hens
http://www.twolittleredhens.com/ on 2nd near 86th or also in Brooklyn. They got some great press in the past year or two in the TImes, etc. The cheesecakes are truly delightful, magnificent really - but i'm not really a fan of anything else there.
