Pies 'N Thighs

Pies 'n Thighs opened in 2006, in the shadow of the Williamsburg Bridge. We took over a beer storage closet in the and transformed it into a tiny kitchen with six stools, serving huge donuts, two-napkin smoked pork sandwiches and salty, crispy fried chicken. The New York Times called the pies and the thighs "…a compelling combination, well executed and put forth with real heart-the sort of restaurant that's hard to find, especially in the big city, but easy to love once found." Owners Sarah Sanneh and Carolyn Bane met as cooks at Diner, a nearby Brooklyn stalwart that has been the parent restaurant of many local favorites. In 2010, Sarah and Carolyn opened a larger location on a sunny corner (still by the bridge!), which has become a beloved neighborhood spot and a destination for travelers from well beyond its Brooklyn home.
