Bubby's Pie Company

Frommer's Review

You might have to wait on line to eat at Bubby's. You might get squeezed in at a table perilously close to another couple. And you might have to talk quite loudly to maintain a conversation with your dining companion. But your level of discomfort will subside as soon as you begin to consume Bubby's comfort food. Whether it is the slow-cooked pulled barbecue pork, the magnificent, lighter-than-air meatloaf, or the buttermilk-fried half chicken, coupled with such sides as collard greens, sautéed spinach, macaroni and cheese, or baked beans, Bubby's dishes define comfort. Take Bubby's advice and save room for the desserts, especially the homemade pies; one taste of the chocolate peanut-butter pie immediately brought on happy childhood flashbacks. Breakfast is big here and lasts well into the middle of the day. On weekends, though, here in trendy TriBeCa, the wait for brunch can be lengthy. Celebrities need comfort, too, and you might spot one or two at Bubby's seeking anonymity and down-home chow. Bubby's also has a branch across the river in the DUMBO neighborhood of Brooklyn.
