The Little Pie Company: More Than Just Pie

This evening, I returned to The Little Pie Company (http://www.littlepiecompany.com/). I had tasted their pie before at the International Food Festival, where I chose to sample the famous Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie. In case you were wondering, it is incredible-tart apples, surgery walnut topping, perfect crust with just the right amount of crunch-and I am not even a crust person. However, tonight I learned that this little dessert shop is more than just pie. Think chocolate…think chocolate caramel brownie. Soooo tasty. The caramel makes it extra gooey, and by not making the brownie too think, it is not too rich. Mmmm….

After ordering dessert (if in the Hell’s Kitchen location), you can choose to sit in a number of places-inside the store, at a table outside, or at the park just to the west of the store. I mention this only to talk about the ‘park’ that is next to the store. It is actually just the sidewalk with some benches. However, it is actually labeled a park, and it even has rules, such as ‘this park closes at midnight.’ Can a bench actually close at a specific time? Apparently, it can in nyc. Anyway, I find this ‘park’ incredibly amusing.

On a separate side thought, in case you were wondering, the Jamba Juice on 85th and Broadway does not have any tables whatsoever. Therefore, it is a good place to go to get a smoothie, but a bad place to go to get a smoothie and try to grade a stack of papers.
