Everyone knows Junior’s is NYC legend thanks to its unbeatable cheesecake (like so good it’s available on Goldbelly). Now, you can indulge in Junior’s anytime you fancy thanks to its collaboration with New York-based candle brand Literie.

The new candle, titled a Slice of Strawberry Cheesecake, is reminiscent of Junior’s iconic cheesecakes baking in the oven and then being topped with farm-fresh strawberries and an incredible strawberry glaze. A hint of strawberry, notes of vanilla and just a wink of cream cheese allow the candle to provide comfort and sophistication while reminding everyone in your home of Junior’s.
Literie, the self-proclaimed “olfactory postcard from New York City,” celebrates the best of NYC through their candles, such as Afternoon in Central Park and 28th Street Flower Market. “As a born and raised New Yorker there are few things as recognizable as a slice of Junior’s cheesecake,” says Literie founder Erica Werber. “Our first candle was created to bottle the scent of midtown's omnipresent hot roasted nut carts, so continuing the tradition of preserving the city’s sweetest scent with Junior’s made perfect sense for us.” Junior’s is just as excited about the collaboration, with third-generation owner Alan Rosen sharing, “With this partnership with Literie, our fans from all over can still be enticed by our famous scent – but without the calories!”
The candles are available for purchase from Literie, and at Junior’s three NYC restaurants.
