The Times‘ Ed Levine is back from his quest:
A month ago I set out to explore the state of the cheesecake in New York City, and thereby, I hoped, to find the city’s best. Thirty days, 30 sojourns across the city, and more than four dozen cheesecakes later, I can attest to the health of our shared cheesecake culture. Opinions about cheesecake are, of course, as multitudinous in New York as its citizens. Tempting as it may be to do, I will not crown a “best” cake, but seven of them.
Now, how exactly do I go about becoming a food critic?
