This recipe is fabulous. I didn't find it dry at all. I used the waterbath method and followed the cooling instructions. It did take longer to bake and I would recommend a higher temperature. Perhaps 325 or 350. Watch it though don't overcook it. It will continue to cook when the oven is off and door cracked open. I baked it til not too jiggly. A winner! Thank you. Made an awesome birthday cake for my DH.

This is a New York Style cheescake. It is pretty thick and dense and dry. Like NY style is. It has a good flavor, but I don't care for the NY style.It was fairly easy to make. It took longer than posted for mine to cook. If you like Ny style cheescake then this would be a good one for you!
