Recipe: New York Style Cheese Cake (2 reposts)

My favorite recipe has a sour cream topping, but here are two New York-style I found on a search in TKL for New York Cheese Cake. They are pretty much the same, so must be a good recipe.

I've been making this cheesecake at least 30 years it always gets rave reviews..
I have baked it with out the lemon and orange zest and have also left out the cream...
I've baked it without a crust.
I've added assorted flavor ie peanut butter, melted chocolate, coconut and pineapple, all kinds of liquir ...it's all good.
I've even used this recipe to make layers for a weding cake!

A real New York Cheesecake doesn't generally have a sour cream topping on it. A
fruit glaze sometime, but I generally don't add that either, although I have
included the recipe. This is a very old "Tried and True" Recipe that ws
orginally called "Lindy's" cheesecake. that was a very famous New York
restaurant, known for their cheesecake. I know if you make this you will enjoy
it. Everyone always has. Sandy in Baltimore
