"Alan Rosen is the third-generation owner of Junior's original location in downtown Brooklyn. "So when I was four and five years old, if I wanted to see my dad, I had to come to Brooklyn. He worked seven days a week," Rosen said. "I mean, this is where I literally grew up." After graduating college, Rosen came to work with his father, uncle and brother."
"Rosen says Junior's is known for having the best cheesecakes in the city, and that the family recipe has not changed in its 75-year history. The recipe includes cream cheese, fresh eggs, sugar, heavy cream and a touch of vanilla. The mix is then blended with a paddle attachment so it's a little dense and baked in a water bath with sponge cake on the bottom."
Junior's in downtown Brooklyn marks its 75th anniversary while remaining family-owned. Alan Rosen is the third-generation owner and grew up working at the restaurant, joining his father, uncle and brother after college. The business has expanded over the years but maintains strong Brooklyn roots and local loyalty. The family cheesecake recipe has remained unchanged for 75 years, using cream cheese, fresh eggs, sugar, heavy cream and vanilla, blended with a paddle and baked in a water bath atop sponge cake. Family tenets such as generous service and the warning 'you're only as good as your last meal' guide operations.
