For the past 19-years, we've only done one thing, make a great, AUTHENTIC key lime pie. One of only two commercial bakeries in the US using fresh squeezed key limes, we produce here in Red Hook what Amanda Hesser called "the best key lime pie, Mason-Dixon line, or no." If you have any room left after Thursday for dessert, please stop in and see us.

Thornwillow Press
The St. Regis 2 East 55th Street New York New York 10022
www.thornwillow.com
Books and social paper hand crafted in New York's Hudson Valley and sold in our salon in the stunning New York institution, the St. Regis. Open Black Friday and Small Business Saturday 10 -7. Lovely letterpress printed broadside for all visitors.
In this day of mostly disposable and intangible communications - we read paperbacks, magazines, newspapers and faxes that we throw out, e-mails that we delete, watch videos that we turn off and we make telephone calls on which we hang up - Thornwillow Press, in contrast, is committed to making books that last. Our mission is to enhance the relationship between the reader and the written word. With this as our guiding principle, our paper, printing, binding and books are meant to be powerful media for communicating and preserving ideas in the modern world.
