If the sweet lineup doesn't offer some kind of cheesecake, I'm sorry, it's not legit.

Cheesecake should be a dessert option at every restaurant.

You have your apple crisp with vanilla ice cream, and molten chocolate lave cake. Two of my faves.

The Left Bank Restaurant and Bar in York, PA makes its own candy bar.

It's made with a brownie, peanut butter mousse, caramel, chocolate sorbet, and caramel popcorn. Salty and sweet.
