NYC Restaurants

Uncle Tetsu with its bright red ovens opens just steps away from Bryant Park on West 41st Street. The bake shop is known for its light and airy Japanese-style cheesecake described as a cross between American cheesecake and a souffle. Flavors include traditional and coffee. Other offerings range from cheesecake biscotti and madeleines to "ooey gooey" cookies with marshmallows, chocolate chips and a touch of salt.
