Jonathan Bencosme Review of Four and Twenty Blackbirds

This place is so gentrified Brooklyn they might as well fill their pies with the shavings of reclamied mid-century modern furniture and serve them on vintage 45' LP's. Like all things hipster, it comes with the good and the bad, so is it worth the hype? If you have a sweet tooth absolutely, their pies are sweet, oh are they sweet. That honey pie might as well be served with a side of insulin, but with a side of unsweetened coffee or milk I love it. The chess pie is more like a chocolate mousse pie, you definitely want each bite to have a bit of crust to balance out the sugar. Thankfully their crust is nice and thick. Decor inside is typical Brooklyn, heavy on the wood, mix of farmhouse and industrial and minimal wall decor. They have other baked goods which looked good. Is this the best pie in New York, no, but it's good if you like sweet things. Is this Brooklyn hipster nonsense? ...yeah but apparently hipster nonsense goes well with a side of pie.
