Junior's is a restaurant chain with the original location at 386 Flatbush Avenue Extension at the corner of DeKalb Avenue in Downtown Brooklyn, New York City. Other locations include Times Square area and the lobby of the Fox Tower in the Foxwoods Resort in Ledyard, Connecticut. The restaurant was founded by Harry Rosen in 1950,[1] although his family had run a diner in that location, albeit not under the Junior's name, since 1929. It is now owned and run by his grandson Alan Rosen. The restaurant is known for iconic New York–style cheesecake. According to the restaurant, it was named Junior's after Rosen's two sons, Walter and Marvin.[2]
