The Pies ‘n' Thighs team sends work that the beloved shop's first Manhattan outpost will be here any day. The new spot at 43 Canal Street will have "more of a lunch counter vibe" than the original, says owner Sarah Sanneh. So expect more sandwich action at that long counter, plus all of the classics like those sweet sweet biscuits, fried chicken pieces, and of course pies.

The team is waiting on its Con Ed gas hookup and is still putting the finishing touches on the space, but says the plan is to open sometime around New Years.
