Just think how cheaply you could duplicate that at home, and it would taste
better. Personally, I prefer a crumb crust to this.

IIRC, it was Lindy's who introduced cheesecake with a pastry (shortbread-
like) crust rather than crumb crust. That would be the original Lindy's,
not the one in NYC today.

I don't think I've ever spent over $10 making even the most elaborate
cheesecakes, and I usually bake a 10" cake that's 3-1/2 to 4" thick.
