I'm especially intrigued by the Swingles (chocolate-coated frozen tart on a stick). TIA! Fri Nov 10 16:57:44 -0800 2006 11993 CornflakeGirl 1 2011781 These things are good. And half the fun is going to Red Hook to buy them. Fri Nov 10 18:14:25 -0800 2006 2011487 12795 famdoc 2 2012738 FYI, you can get them at some retail outlets: http://www.stevesauthentic.com/localavail.html I live 2 neighborhoods away, but even I find it too much trouble to get to the factory. I get mine at Los Paisanos. Sat Nov 11 00:02:24 -0800 2006 2011781 10510 Pupster 1 2011787 im not a huge key lime pie fan but i consistently order it for dessert whenever i go to pete's ale house on atlantic. they always have a fresh pie available for dessert...unlike 2nd street cafe in park slope which had a pretty nasty old pie that they served me recently after my brunch there.

But Steve's Authentic is my favorite. He uses real key limes from Mexico and the pie is silky smooth, just the right tartness without being too sweet or tart, and the graham crust is just right. There's no better key lime pie out there. Fri Nov 10 23:35:48 -0800 2006 2011487 52421 dumbonyc 1 2017220 Thanks guys! I think I'm sold. I'll probably head to Red Hook this weekend to check them out. Mon Nov 13 16:47:10 -0800 2006 2011487 11993 CornflakeGirl 1 2017229 FYI, they are also sold at the Park Slope Food Coop and some other retail outlets if you like lime pie, these are great Mon Nov 13 16:50:02 -0800 2006 2011487 11989 pitu 1 2019658 We ordered Steve's individual pies for my rehearsal dinner (two years ago yesterday) to go with our catered Daisy May's Barbeque. Outrageous! Tue Nov 14 04:37:26 -0800 2006 2011487 12943 Sarah McC 1 2020034 Where is this place located? Tue Nov 14 13:08:03 -0800 2006 2011487 17779 jmax 2 2021285 www.keylime.com Tue Nov 14 19:58:38 -0800 2006 2020034 11503 jakeyd 1 2021900 Am I missing something here? The price is $79.00 for a 10-inch pie? I know they are great but what kind of price is that? Tue Nov 14 22:41:36 -0800 2006 2011487 12618 erica 2 2021930 Yeah, but the real deal is 3 for $119... Tue Nov 14 22:51:40 -0800 2006 2021900 13481 Woodside Al 2 2021932 That's for pies being shipped (in a cooler), overnight express. Still, it's expensive... You can buy them at their bakery for about $25. Tue Nov 14 22:52:00 -0800 2006 2021900 24340 redherring 3 2021962 It is expensive. They have a large pie and a medium (don't remember the exact sizes or pricess); But the medium is much more expensive per serving. I've gone to their Red Hook place twice and both times had to buy two mediums because they didn't have the large. It was annoying and they weren't apologetic or nice about it. I think the pies are good, but they don't make me swoon Tue Nov 14 22:59:10 -0800 2006 2021932 11392 gnosh 4 2022349 Prices at bakery are $18 for 10 inch and $14 for 8 inch, they're actually cheaper at Los Paisanos Wed Nov 15 01:21:43 -0800 2006 2021962 11503 jakeyd 5 2022377 Wow, that sounds a bit more like this planet...so they get $18 at the bakery for 10 inches but for the same pie shipped it costs $79! Glad I live in NYC in case I develop an addiction. Wed Nov 15 01:34:01 -0800 2006 2022349 12618 erica 5 2024600 I stand corrected. It's $25 for it to be delivered to your door via their "Pie Pool" in the 5 boroughs and suburbs. $14-18 is more like it. Wed Nov 15 21:00:58 -0800 2006 2022349 24340 redherring 1 2024110 These pies are fantasic, even if you don't generally like Key Lime Pie. (I usually find it too tart, or too something.) A++ Wed Nov 15 19:01:02 -0800 2006 2011487 14446 NAtiveNewYorker 1 2098855 How can real key limes be from Mexico? I thought they were grown on the keys off of Florida and that's how they got their name? Thu Dec 14 11:27:15 -0800 2006 2011487 19760 BMartin 2 2098859 According to an article I read somewhere about Steve and his pie making history, he used to buy them from Florida but then for some reason (I forget why) it got more difficult to get them from Florida and now he gets them from Mexico. Thu Dec 14 11:57:20 -0800 2006 2098855 16610 dimples 1 2101311 Make sure they are open. check their website. In the past they were only there during the week before 3. or something like that. The switch to Mexico was probably price. Key and Mexican limes are the same. They are different from Persian which is what you get in the typical super market. If you like citrus, while in Red Hook go to LeNell's liquor store and get Fee's Lemon Bitters. Fri Dec 15 01:15:08 -0800 2006 2011487 14468 Geo8rge
