The one you make yourself. Lemon zest + juice in the filling and a little cinnamon in the crust and that's the best goddamn cheesecake in Boston right there.

People are going to hate, but Market Basket deli counter has an incredible Steak Bomb.
Edit - I realized shortly after posting that OP asked for a cheesecake, but my brain read cheesesteak. I'm leaving this up in support of the MB Steak Bomb.

The best one I've had so far has been at Chart House by the Aquarium. I went there for Dine Out Boston and the Cheesecake was a dessert to choose. Got it and loved every minute of it. Especially the strawberry glaze.

I always thought that was specific to Philadelphia. Up here, and frankly most places I've ever had one, it's been shaved steak with american cheese in every cheese steak.
A Steak Bomb is the same thing, but you've added grilled peppers, onions, mushrooms, and then pepperoni and/or salami (but it should be both unless you're an enemy of democracy).

You can also bake it low and slow. I fucking hate water baths. A 6-7 hour bake of a cheesecake at 200°F and an overnight chill in the fridge yielded the best cheesecake I have ever eaten.
Also, I believe r/baking would disagree with no one making their own cheesecake. People take on all sorts of absurdly fiddly bakes there.

Yeah, this is up there for sure.
I will hate on Tatte for some things as much as the next person (like mediocre sandwiches for $16), but their pastries are superb.
Their passion fruit Krembo is a top-3 dessert in Boston for me.

It is quite good. Lyndell’s is good for just about any baked good that your grandmother loves. They are painfully old-school, but they are good at what they do.
Personally, I wish they would freshen up the menu a little

If you like chocolate in your cheesecake, my vote would be Quebrada Baking company. I’m not normally big on cheesecake, but their little mini chocolate cheesecakes are tiny yet satisfying and I rarely walk out of there without buying one. Not sure if they have them in bigger sizes, I never manage to make it there until later in the day.
They have a blueberry option, too. And it tastes good. Not sure how it ranks among others, though.

Ah, you were in Old City. I was the other way, growing up on the other side of Broad Street. I did live down 4th and South for a couple years as an adult though, so not too far from there. You were definitely in the "not from here" area. LOL But it's cool though Old City is a great area, especially for going out. Shame we never met though, I could have taken you to a papi store to get a real good, greasy cheeseteak for less that $10.
