I looking for the cheesecake recipe at H&H. It was on a pastry dough and a

to NY cheesecake, the NY cheesecake is also on pastry dough.
Thank you

Hello Frank,
Sorry, I had no success locating a recipe for Horn & Hardart cheesecake.
There are scans of the H & H menu online:
H & H Menu Page
H & H Menu Page Lunch
H & H Menu Page Dinner
That H & H menu has only one entry for cheesecake, and it is listed as "French cheesecake."
There are recipes online for "French cheesecake", but I cannot recommend one
as being similar to that of H & H because I never had H & H cheesecake.
There is one recipe here: French Cheesecake
I did find a recipe for H & H "pineapple cheese pie." It's a copycat or tastes-like
and it's not what you were looking for, but you might want to try it.
See: Pineapple Cheese Pie
I'll post this for reader input.
