Junior’s Cheesecake in Times Square is arguably one of the most well-known dessert spots in New York City to take your kids on a date. The cases are brimming with delicious delicacies and the bright lights make it look too good to resist!
You and your child won’t have any trouble selecting which sugary treat will be the highlight of the show thanks to the wide variety of flavors available. And if your kiddo isn’t a fan of cheesecake, Junior’s has plenty of other options to choose from like sundaes, brownies, and cake slices.
You may notice there are two locations in Times Square, the one on 45th Street is basically just a slice shop. You pop in, order and then head outside to a handful of tables sprinkled around. The 49th Street location is an actual restaurant where they serve food, drinks and some of the best kid-friendly desserts in NYC.
