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

Amazing bagels, fresh and hot. Not those doughy bricks that they sell in the carts. www.ess-a-bagel.com/ there are two queues, one for bagels only and one for bagels with stuff. Make sure you get in the right line and be know sure you know what you want before you get to the counter!

Two pizza joints worth seeking out. In my opinion Lombardis is for tourists - you queue for hours for what can often be a very underwhelming pie. Look at www.sliceny.com/ for more in depth debate on this important topic.

Di Fara Pizza 1424 Avenue J, Midwood, Brooklyn 718-258-1367 or Una Pizza Napoletana 349 E. 12th St. (East Village) between First and Second Aves. 212-477-995
