Balthazar

New York, New York, United States

Balthazar is a popular French restaurant in the area of SoHo in New York City. In addition to their restaurant, they also have a take out bakery. The bakery is very small and often very crowded. On this visit I was just looking for a dessert I could take home.

Pumpkin Cheesecake

Pumpkin Cheesecake

The pumpkin cheesecake is one of the best cheesecakes I've had in NYC. The cheese was creamy and the base was soft. It had a good pumpkin flavor and tasted delicious.

The pumpkin cheesecake was a bit small for $5.25, but still shareable between two people. For how good it tasted, it was worth the price. To provide some scale for the size, the cheesecake is topped with candied pumpkin seeds.
