The most delicious pies in the world!
Try: salty honey, pecan or matcha pies.
They have been featured in NY Times, Wall Street Journal, and numerous other articles. And they published a pie cookbook!
The place is chic and cozy, they serve drinks and the place is not noisy. This could be the perfect spot for a first date ;)

Super cool neighborhood. Be surrounded by cobble stone streets and cast iron buildings. This where models, fashion bloggers, and rock stars hang out and live. Our dear late David Bowie used to live here. If you're interested to know which building, ask me.
I see movie trailers not tourist buses here ;)
