You can’t miss Junior’s on the corner of Flatbush and DeKalb with it’s ginormous red, flashing signage. Serving cheesecake and greasy-spoon plates since 1950. Junior’s has been such an iconic part of Brooklyn that Mayor Bill De Blasio named November 3rd ‘Junior’s Day’ to commemorate their 65th anniversary, and President Obama stops by whenever he’s in town to buy their famous cheesecake. Everything about the restaurant is big, with three separate seating areas, two bars and a bakery. Pastrami sandwiches the size of your face, sundaes almost a foot tall, and a six page menu filled with all the essential all-American offerings. Make sure you save room for dessert—twelve different cheesecake flavors including carrot cake and red velvet. Perfect for a large group, small group or just a slice for one at the bar.
