  • #NYFoodHistory: The Bagel and Lox The beloved combination of a bagel, lox, and cream cheese is a quintessential New York City breakfast. The marriage of the bagel and lox occurred in the bustling Jewish immigrant communities of New York City in the early 20th century. The combination of the chewy bagel, rich cream cheese, and salty lox became a popular and satisfying breakfast option. The affordability and portability of this meal made it a favorite among the city's working class. Today, the bagel and lox has evolved into a gourmet delicacy, with various types of smoked fish, artisanal bagels, and creative toppings available. However, its humble origins as a hearty and satisfying breakfast remain at the heart of this iconic New York dish.

  • #NYFoodHistory: New York Cheesecake is synonymous with the city's rich culinary heritage. While the cheesecake itself has ancient roots, the iconic version we know today is a relatively recent creation. The key to New York-style cheesecake lies in the use of cream cheese, a product accidentally discovered in New York in 1872. It was Arnold Reuben, a restaurateur, who is credited with popularizing the cheesecake we know today. He introduced cream cheese into the cheesecake recipe in the 1920s, creating the rich, dense texture that defines New York cheesecake. Reuben’s cheesecake quickly became a sensation, and soon, every New York restaurant had its own version. This intense competition led to the development of the distinctive New York cheesecake we enjoy today: a tall, creamy dessert with a graham cracker crust and often topped with fresh fruit. While the exact origins of the recipe continue to be debated, there's no doubt that New York City has played a pivotal role in shaping this beloved dessert into the iconic treat it is today.
