The Cheesecake Factory is a chain known for its voluminous cheesecakes. What is really worth it is to come and enjoy a dessert at the end of the day, rather than dinner or lunch. The view of the financial district and downtown is simply beautiful and the cheesecake melts in your mouth. Be prepared to wait in line, though, as patio seating is in high demand on sunny days. The menu is also very copious for lunch and dinner for about 15 US$ a dish (ask for your leftovers to take away, here it's the rule).

Enter the temple of chocolate or simply admire the window to avoid succumbing and ruining yourself! True works of art in chocolate, it's like being in Sofia Coppola's Marie-Antoinette.

In short, you're in for a treat.
