Downtown's Pie Social (A Field Guide for November 3)
There's going to be a lot to see and do at the Chow Bella/Roosevelt Row Pie Social this Saturday, but stay focused -- there are going to be a lot people on the same mission: Drop off the pies (optional), get the tasting tickets, find the best pies, taste, and repeat.
You might need a little help to boost your pie-eating efficiency ... and figure out where the hell the water (and the ice cream) is. And that's where we come in. Here's a peek at our hints and hot spots for the Pie Social on Nov. 3:
