New Yorkers know all about Milk Bar. You’ve likely seen (or tasted) their famous milk bar pie, the one with a gooey butter, cream and sugar filling encased in a toasted oat crust. But did you know they have a pumpkin milk bar pie too?!? With the same fudgy consistency as the original and a sweet fall flavor twist, it’s truly the pie of our dreams. For more autumn flavor, try a limited-time apple cider donut cake or truffle.

Various locations; milkbarstore.com. Order for delivery or pick-up; delivery not available November 22 through 25.

This Hell’s Kitchen pie shop is mouth-wateringly good. But don’t take our word for it—Oprah Winfrey and Sarah Jessica Parker are fans, too. The sour cream apple walnut pie is a favorite, made with hand-sliced Granny Smith apples, fresh sour cream and topped with brown sugar, cinnamon and walnut streusel. You also can’t go wrong with the three berry pie (strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries) or Mississippi mud pie. They’ve even got a sugarless old-fashioned apple pie as well as two gluten-free pies: Florida key lime pie and blueberry apple crumb pie.

Want something to cut through the richness of all those mashed potatoes, gravy and turkey? Try a zesty key lime pie from this Red Hook shop that offers nothing but that.
