Berry Pies – Red Barn Bakery
4 S Astor St, Irvington; 914.231.7779
While Red Barn Bakery has plenty of pies to choose from, go for the pie using the berries at peak ripeness for a great seasonal treat on a cozy summer night. Whether it’s strawberry, blueberry, or some other berry, you will hardly be able to resist digging in before the party. A slice of Red Barn’s pie is great on its own, but we highly suggest a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top for that delicious mix of hot and cold.
