Best Ice Cream 9 dishes ranked Scoop-shop dairy ice cream — named flavor or the shop’s standout scoop at a South Bay parlor.

#1 Two-Scoop Sundae (house-made ice cream) Eddie's Sweet Shop · Forest Hills, Queens 8.7 Limited data
Best Cheesecakes 6 dishes ranked Classic New York-style cheesecake: a dense or airy baked cream-cheese filling (often with sour cream) on a graham-cracker or sponge-cake base, or crustless, sold by the slice, as an individual tart, or whole. Ranked at a specific bakery, deli or restaurant. Italian ricotta, Basque burnt and Japanese cheesecakes are different styles.

#1 Plain Eileen's Special Cheesecake · Nolita, Manhattan 9.3 Medium confidence
Best Tiramisus 6 dishes ranked Espresso-soaked ladyfingers layered with whipped mascarpone and dusted with cocoa, served as a plate, a slice or a cup. In the South Bay it is the default last course at an Italian restaurant, and the house specialty at a small group of dessert bars that build a whole menu around it.

#1 Tiramisu Piccola Cucina Uptown · Upper East Side, Manhattan 9.0 Limited data
