"Abu’s Homestyle Bakery in Bed-Stuy is famous for their navy bean pie. If you’re new to the navy bean pie world (like I was before I knew about Abu’s), the bean pie is considered the only Black-American Muslim food in existence, and Abu’s Homestyle Bakery is one of the few places in the city that sells them. In addition to bean pie, Abu’s also sells sweet potato pie, pecan pie, or a coconut custard pie, as well as a ton of sweet merch to buy in case you can convince your fellow native New Yorker to get a shirt for you." - hannah albertine
