There’s a butter-laden heaven worth visiting in Gowanus, Brooklyn, called Four & Twenty Blackbirds. You can smell why when you first walk in, the heaviness of crust, flour and butter and sugar, the citrus and cinnamon and sourness of berries cooking down, tinged with the bitterness of coffee.
I’ve tried the blueberry crumble, strawberry streusel, salty honey, and salted caramel apple pies. All of them were delicious.
Go to there.
