I need some help. A very close friend of mine is having a major birthday soon and we need a cake for the party. Her favorite is an plain, original, heavy, old-fashioned N. Y. cheesecake. She's a real aficionado so this has to be GOOD! I understand there is a bakery in Wildwood that is supposed to be very good but I've forgotten the name and I don't know if they make really good cheesecake.

If you have any suggestions, please post so I can check them out. Thanks a lot.

Athens NY in Spanish Springs had a mighty fine looking batch of goodies in their case. I didn't try the awesome looking cheesecake but that cannolli that slipped my way was yummers. You might ask to get a sampling at Fresh Market. I made the mistake of trying some of their baked goods and my only complaint is that I want more!

The place in Wildwood that has great cakes is the Cotillion Cafe. I don't know if they do cheesecake but I have had several of there other cakes and they are fantastic.

Juniors Cheesecakes from Brooklyn ships 2 day or overnight. You can't get any more New York than that.

I second that motion ! The Cotillion is THE BEST cakes around here ! My sister was a pastry chef at an inn on Nantucket and her cakes were great, but Cotillion are excellent !

Having grown up in Brooklyn and attended Unversity across the street from Juniors I can attest to the fact that they have the definitive NY cheesecake.

Does anyone know if Eli's Cheesecake (Chicago favorite) is available anywhere in this area?

I haven't seen Eli's anywhere. I had it shipped to us many times when we lived in CA. One trip to visit our son in Chicago also included a trip to the Eli factory. Ah, I was in cheesecake heaven! They ship very quickly...

Find someone driving straight through from Long Island and have them stop at Milleridge Inn. That was my favorite cheesecake.

Tierra del Sol served up a really good slice of blue- and blackberry cheesecake yesterday.

Thanks for your responses. I just looked over the website for Eli's as mentioned and, guess what? The section that shows where it is available indicates that it's at Publix....all of our local Publix stores are listed.
Going to hop into the cart and go over there right now!!! What a way to make a midwest girl happy!!!
