I'm from NY. I'm a snob when it comes to bagels, cheesecake and pizza. Thats not to say all pizza, cheesecake and bagels are good in NY. There are places there that suck., I'm still looking for cheesecake. Brueggers is excellent. Ask which ones are just out of the oven and get them whatever kind they are. O I found good pizza a Famous Ray's but ONLY the one on 7th and whatever Frank Lloyd Wright becomes on the west side
