Mice Photographed in Window at Junior's Cheesecake

Mice love cheese, no matter what its form.

The Brooklyn, N.Y., cheesecake institution Junior's, founded in downtown Brooklyn in 1950, prides itself as "New York's Best Cheesecake," but it's now scrambling to clean up its reputation after photographs posted on the Internet over the weekend show some rodents enjoying a snack in the bakery's window display.

Egg Creams

junior's egg creamWhy aren't egg creams more popular? They're easy, they're cheap and they're one of the less hazardous methods of getting one's chocolate fix (low-carb fans take note). In New York City, they're practically an official beverage, with such august practitioners as Gem Spa on Second Avenue, Ray's on Avenue A and, of course, Junior's out in Brooklyn. You can even buy an egg cream kit!

This delightful beverage is hard to find beyond Gotham, however, and the few bottled varieties out there simply don't measure up. No, best to mix it up yourself: All you need is about one-half cup of milk, a few tablespoons of chocolate syrup (many swear by Fox's U-Bet, but Hershey's will do in a pinch) and about a cup of seltzer. There is some dispute as to whether to pour the syrup or the milk into your glass first, but mix them up with a long-handled spoon, then add the seltzer straight down the middle. Other flavors can be made by changing up the syrup, although again, the purists would squawk. Don't even go into the squabbles of who invented it or how -- the only thing egg cream fans can agree upon is that we'll have another.

Crazy for Cheesecake: a cheesecake blog

Launched earlier this summer, Crazy for Cheesecake is a blog dedicated to cheesecake. There are cheesecake recipes ranging from traditional to no-bake, as well as tips for how to keep your cheesecake from cracking and how to adjust cheesecake recipes for high altitudes. There are also links to mail-order cheesecake sources like Juniors in Brooklyn and reviews of other cheesecake-related sites. I'm not sure how much more cheesecake I can handle.
