One of the most memorable pumpkin pies in NYC comes from Four and Twenty Blackbirds located in Brooklyn. What makes this slice of pie stand out is that the filling is made with a blend of pumpkin, brown butter, spices, and a small addition of lemon juice.
The crust is flakey yet sturdy, working in unison with the delicious pumpkin filling guaranteeing each bite to be magical. The end product is a rich, creamy, gem of a pumpkin pie that nearly tastes like cheesecake but is more subdued, with a hint of tanginess.
Something to Note. If you’re trying to purchase a pie for Thanksgiving make sure to set an alarm. Pies sell out quickly and the pre-order form fills fast. Check their Instagram often for updates in order to get your hands one of the best pumpkin pies in New York City!
