Treat Yourself on National Cheesecake Day 2013

It’s unclear where National Cheesecake Day started. But if you’re looking for history, pick up a book.

The rest of us will pick up a fork Tuesday to celebrate.

Make a visit to The Cheesecake Store in Menomonee Falls for a Main Street take on the decadent dessert.

The nearest Cheesecake Factory is at Mayfair Mall, but it may be worth the drive as the restaurant is offering half-price slices on Tuesday to celebrate.

And afterward, you might want to check out the fitness offerings of the Sussex Parks and Recreation Department to undo the delightful damage the cheesecake has done.
