Get ready cheesecake lovers. The acclaimed Junior's will be serving treats across New York City to celebrate National Cheesecake Day on July 30th. When residents of the city can enjoy their favorite cheesecakes, the publication said Silive.
For the first time in history, Junior's will travel in a dedicated food truck to all five boroughs from July 29 to 31 to sell $5 cheesecakes.
Customers will be able to spin the "Cheesecake Wheel" to win a souvenir from Junior's, including free slices, t-shirts, National Cheesecake Day temporary tattoos and a hat.
For the residents of Staten Island, the tour will be a real “home run”.
That's because Junior's will be sponsoring Saturday's Staten Island Ferry Hawks game. And shortly before the game, at 17:00 p.m., at third base, several local cops will compete in a cheesecake eating contest.
Junior's will also be selling cheesecakes, proceeds from which will benefit the NYPD Widows and Orphans Fund, and will be giving away prizes starting at 16:30 p.m. outside the stadium.

Where to look for food trucks
The Junior's truck travels five boros, offering $5 slices and a full range of toppings such as macaroons, strawberry sauce, chocolate sauce, rainbow sprinkles and chocolate chips.
"From the financial district to the beach, we're going to give New Yorkers an unforgettable weekend," said Alan Rosen, third-generation owner of Junior's.
Here's the schedule:
- 29 of July: Smorgasburg World Trade Center in Lower Manhattan from 11:00 AM to 14:00 PM and then travel to Long Island City (Queens) until 16:00 PM;
- 30 of July: The food truck will leave the Bronx for Staten Island. Junior's will celebrate National Cheesecake Day with the Staten Island Ferry Hawks baseball team by hosting a cheesecake eating contest with proceeds going to the NYPD Widows and Orphans Fund.
- 31 of July: Junior's will end the weekend in Brooklyn with a morning in Coney Island on Surf Avenue.
During the weekend, the location of the truck in each borough can be found on Junior's social media pages.
And just for one day, visitors to any of Junior's—the original flagship in Brooklyn (386 Flatbush Ave. Extension at DeKalb), Times Square (45th St. off Broadway), Midtown (49th and Broadway) and the Foxwoods Casino in Connecticut—can use discounts on a number of products.
