Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pies

If you have a bike, a car, or can conveniently catch the water taxi or a bus, you must make a stop in Red Hook! Red Hook is part of the area known as South Brooklyn. It is a peninsula between Buttermilk Channel, Gowanus Bay and Gowanus Canal. Unreachable by subway, this is one of my favorite Brooklyn neighborhoods, as it offers many specialty spots. Of course it holds our beloved IKEA, Fairway, and it is also the only part of New York City that has a full frontal view of the Statue of Liberty, but what I am talking about are the amazing bakeries, vintage shops, and ball park food carts.

One of my most favorite places to visit when I go to Red Hook is Steve's Authentic Key Lime Pies. These delicious little treats are made in-house from pure key limes. They also make their own Graham crumb crust and are praised for their use of freshly squeezed key limes, instead of generic bottled key lime juice. A single-serving individual pie fit well in my personal budgeted-baked-goods allowance, as it was only $4. You can also purchase an 8" pie for $15 or a 10" for $25.

Affordable + tasty = a must* stop!
