…courtesy of XXXXXXXX, who helped us XXXXXXXXXXXX. We paid them thousands of $$ for XXXXX and XXXXX, and they threw in a cheesecake.

Seriously, it’s a good cheesecake, a proper NY-style cake with raspberry swirl.

P.S. A bonus slice for the person who knows what the distinguishing feature of a true NY Cheesecake is.

I have no idea, but here are some educated guesses:

• It has a jaded world view and general contempt for humanity.
• You try and ask it a polite question, and it responds profanely.
• It only ever wears black.
• Nothing will phase it, not even people riding the subway without any pants on.

PS. The cake was delicious!

PPS. Apologies to New Yorkers for my propagation of completely unfounded stereotypes about you.

(I think I hit guesses 1 and 2. I’m wearing black today so that’s 3. Not taking my pants off at the office though).
