"In many ways, Four & Twenty Blackbirds kicked off the New York pie renaissance with the opening of their Gowanus-based location in 2009. Since then, the shop has become a national icon, known for their seasonal pie rotations. For Thanksgiving, co-owner Melissa Elsen estimates that the in-demand bakery will make over 5,000 pies, many already spoken for between national and wholesale customers. Luckily, for New York locals, they are offering four of their greatest hits for pickup, salted caramel apple, brown-butter pumpkin, bittersweet chocolate pecan, and their unique salty honey, a fan favorite and Four & Twenty Blackbird original. Pre-orders are live now. Pies go for $45 and pick-up is available at the Gowanus shop from Sunday to Thursday November 28 at 3 p.m." - Eater Staff, John Tsung
