hi, it’s me again! didn’t mean to confuse anyone but i’m absolutely positive! spent the w/e in NYC, googled best cheesecake in Manhattan, Lindy’s came up so I went and got a slice. Very pricy but the best NY cheesecake I’ve ever had. I bought a city guide talking about it and actually saying that the sponge base was its specificity!
I have to say it makes a big difference, it’s a lot more subtle texturewise and flavourwise than a normal cookie base. I then tried the 2 little hens one the next day, which is very nice indeed but not as nice, mainly due to the crust. The problem is I’ve looked everywhere on the internet for the recipe, it definitely a cookie crust, which is very strange.
i’ll keep looking, I live in London and need to be able to make it back home!

Wow, I am confused now Sandra says it is a sponge base, and Judy says it is a butter cookie recipe. This was the recipe that was posted in the New York Times, maybe they changed or adapted their recipe over the last 30 years?

this can’t be the reall Lindy’s cheesecake recipe! The 1 thing that is specific of this cheesecake is that it’s got a sponge base, not a cookie crumb! I am eating some right now, it’s the best thing ever!
