Does it have a hint of lemon? NY cheesecake should have lemon or lemon zest (and cream or sour cream). Sample recipes: one, two, three, crazy four. Philadelphia cheesecake has neither – it is a very simple recipe promoted by Philadelphia Cream Cheese.
I accept a hint of lemon provided it’s VERY subtle (when I bake cheesecake I use a dash of lemon juice. Zest is probably too strong for my cheesecake taste)
