It’s your turn to play midsummer host. You’ve got the stage—a rooftop garden, a patio or even a living room with good air flow. You’ve got the props—enough burgers, shrimp and salad to feed a theater full of people. All you need is a showstopper to pull off the final scene. Enter Little Pie Company, founded by a once out-of-work actor named Arnold Wilkerson, in Manhattan’s theater district, where passersby can look through large windows into the kitchen and watch bakers mix, roll and crimp. But this production is already on the road. Pies—from homey seasonal favorites like fresh peach, blueberry and tangy sour cherry (each in a buttery double crust), on down to Key lime and superrich Mississippi mud—can be shipped anywhere in the country. Having one of these puppies … er, pies at your shindig is like having Balthazar bread: the sign of a true Empire State epicure behind the scenes. Now on with the show.
