cUCINA & cO.

Macy’s Cellar at Herald Square To Carry Key West Key Lime Pie Co. Pies & Pie Bars™

Cucina & Co., the gourmet marketplace in The Cellar at Macy’s Herald Square, announces it will be the exclusive retailer of Key West Key Lime Pie Co.’s pies and The Original Key Lime Pie Bars™. Voted “Best Key Lime Pie in the Country” by the American Pie Council, Key West Key Lime Pie Co. has partnered with Cucina & Co. to bring a slice of the Florida Keys to New York City, beginning July 1st.

Key West Key Lime Pie Co., located in Big Pine Key, FL, uses

a 100 year-old family recipe with only the finest ingredients. Its pies are unique and made of 100% key lime juice and sweetened condensed milk, ladled into a graham cracker crust, then finished with a non-dairy whipped topping around the edge. Unlike some key lime pies, these pies are eggless, which reduces cholesterol, they contain no trans fat and can be thawed and refrozen multiple times. The company also produces The Original Key Lime Pie Bars™, a slice of handmade key lime pie dipped in rich, creamy chocolate served on a stick.

“We’re absolutely thrilled to be a part of Cucina & Co. at Macy’s,” said Jim Brush and Alison Sloat, owners of Key West Key Lime Pie Co., both former New Yorkers.

“These light and tangy pies are a natural fit for our diners and are perfect for summer,” said Michael Salmon, General Manager of Cucina & Co. at Macy’s. “Once I tasted them, I knew we had to bring them to New York.”

Cucina & Co. guests can buy entire pies for $21.95, pie by the slice $4.95 and chocolate dipped pie bars $3.95. Guests looking to have pies and bars shipped can order items from Cucina & Co. as well.

Cucina & Co. was designed to reflect the comfortable environment and mood of an old-style European kitchen. The marketplace offers a selection of Mediterranean specialty foods including a 75-foot salad bar, signature Cucina chopped salad, rotisserie chicken, beefsteak burgers and more. Wine and beer are also available.

Cucina & Co. is located in the Cellar of Macy’s at 151 W. 34th Street, New York, NY 10001. For more information about Cucina & Co. visit www.patinagroup.com.
