Earlier this week we celebrated summer in the only way we know how—with pie, ice cream, frozen cocktails, and gathering a bunch of our friends before the humidity apocalypse that is New York in August. TASTE Party A La Mode asked chefs, cookbooks authors, and friends of TASTE to bring their best pie to one of our favorite NYC bars: Tropical 128. Thanks to our friends at PUNCH for helping out with the drinks, to Fany Gerson of La New Yorkina for the Mexican-style ice cream, and all of the below who stopped by with a pie.
