Cheesecake lovers rejoice: Iconic Junior’s will stay intact
Customers cheer for owner Alan Rosen's decision to not sell famed Downtown Brooklyn restaurant
Say cheese!
Devoted customers of iconic Junior’s Restaurant — and its owner Alan Rosen — were smiling big Tuesday because the famed cheesecake purveyor will not be torn down and replaced with an apartment tower.
Rosen, the third-generation owner of the famed eatery that has commanded the corner of Flatbush Avenue Extension and DeKalb Avenue since 1950, has decided not to sell the property for a whopping $45 million. He had gotten that offer because he’d had the building on the sale market since February.
