"There should be a warning on Ernesto’s reservation page that says you won’t be allowed to return if you don’t order their Basque cheesecake (barring dietary restrictions). That’s how seriously we take this picture-perfect, creamy, gooey, tangy, and nicely burnt dessert at this Lower East Side restaurant. It’s the best version that we have in New York, and it’s a fantastic capper to a night full of funky Spanish wines and vermouths, and expertly made pintxos." - molly fitzpatrick, will hartman, bryan kim
