Two Little Red Hens Bakery has the best cheesecake in Manhattan, according to the Daily News. It's the crust that really takes the cake. With a browned top and thick, rich filling, the cheesecake's graham cracker crust is tasty enough to cover just about anything. It takes 24-hours to make the cheesecake, so single slices are usually only available during the latter end of the week. One slice probably will only leave you wanting more anyway. Two Little Red Hens Bakery: 1652 Second Ave. at E. 86th St. Upper East Side

If you're in the East Village you MUST go to a place called Veniero's Pasticceria.  They have both the best cheesecake in Manhattan and the best I have ever had.  It's a restaurant that specializes in desserts, coffee, and dessert drinks.  If you want to experience a true New York Cheesecake, definitely go here!  Nice cafe atmosphere with outdoor seating as well.  342 E 11th St
btw 1st & 2nd Ave "

Best Cheesecake in Manhattan is Eileens by far.  It's in SoHo.  Just go and give it a try, you'll see...  17 Cleveland Pl  SoHo
