Say Goodbye to Pie

Christmas Eve will be the Little Pie Company's swan song on West 14^th Street. Even if you have never gone in there, you can't have missed the heavenly aroma wafting around the Eastern side of the shopping stretch. For all the grousing one hears about gentrification, it's hard to argue that the seductive smell of freshly baked pie is not a superior substitute for the Meatpacking District's more typical rotting meat bouquet. Those more familiar with their menu will surely be missing the signature Sour Cream Apple Walnut Pie among other individually sized treats. Fans will be relieved to know that the Little Pie Company counter at Grand Central Terminal's lower level dining concourse will remain open as will the original Manhattan Plaza location on West 43^rd Street.
All we can say is it had better be replaced by something good. If the 14^th street space gets taken by Sunglass Hut, or another chain of their ilk, The Shophound will be very upset.
We do not like it when our pie gets taken away.
