For those who grow up in Utica, I am sure you have heard of Manny Cheesecakes and probably had one for a birthday, special occasion, wedding or a Sunday dinner. Manny's is a Utica staple. Unfortunately, a number of years ago Manny's closed due to a fire. Our family was so sad to see it close as it had been a big part of our family celebrations. I was so happy to see several years ago that Manny's was reborn. No physical bakery but they take orders and make them out of their home. Over the years I have ordered several cheesecakes and they have not disappointed. We had neighbors over and we took a walk down memory lane and Manny's came up and knew I had to surprise the group with a cheesecake. Trust me it did not disappoint. Pictures do not do this cake justice. Amazing Rich dense cheesecake. Cheesecakes are all preorder and take out only. read more
