New York Style Cheesecake Recipe

My blog is an art blog. I don't usually  post this kind of stuff here. This is for the cashier I met in the grocery store tonight. I remember your name but, you didn't give me permission to post it here so... Whenever I see you again if you've made this by then please let me know how it turned out. :)
