I have a lot of favorite desserts, but one of my TOP favorite desserts is key lime pie. And now just any key lime pie, but Steve’s Key Lime Pie. Steve’s pies are sold at dozens of stores in Manhattan, but if you want the freshest, then you have to travel to Red Hook in Brooklyn to his store. Yep, 30 minute drive — but oh so worth it. Especially on a beautiful sunny day, nothing beats eating Steve’s Key Lime Pie with the water view.
We used to come out to Red Hook every weekend to grocery shop, walk around, and feel like we lived in the burbs. Now, it is a fun adventure to go just to look out at the water and eat pie.
Florida vibes.
The window where you order the pies. Or swingles — which is a key lime pie dipped in chocolate and frozen.
Whole swingle.
Bite out of the swingle. SO good, so delicious.
The view.
Walking out to the pier.
The neighborhood is evolving and changing yearly, but it still always has Steve’s. And if you haven’t tried his pies, you must do it pronto.
