The best cheesecake in the world, and the other food isn't bad either. This is a great US chain restaurant, serving damn good food.

Go to Union Square and into Macy's. Hit the button for the 8th floor in the lift and be transported to SF's version of Willy Wonkas Chocolate Factory. Watch your eyes get bigger than your belly when you order dessert. Have two of the biggest courses you've ever seen. Feel bad, when you leave half of the best cheesecake you've ever tasted!

Go late on a Friday/Saturday night (open til 12:30) and sit on the terrace or just go late and get a slice to take away!

8th Floor Macy's, 251 Geary Street, just off Union Square;

Her New York-style cheesecake is superb. Light and fluffy. It is worth seeking out.

Junior's cheesecake! Have eaten many different NYC cheesecakes, all purporting to be the 'best in the city'. But this is the one! Made in Brooklyn and shipped all over, don't miss it. The plain is to die for but they do Raspberry Swirl, Brownie Marble Swirl and others for your delight. If you CAN prise it from the roof of your mouth with your tongue, then you're a better woman than I am. Enjoy!

Brooklyn obviously, but on a short visit, there's no time. However, all is not lost. Head towards Grand Central Station, on 42nd St. and Park Ave., Restaurant, Takeout & Bakery Lower Level Dining Concourse Tel: 212-983-5257. Look for the telltale red and white sign.
