Exciting news, Brooklyn Based has an update on Pies N Thighs :

As part of their Tenant Protection Plan, the Department of Buildings is now requiring all NYC businesses that open after July 1, 2008 to file a form that proves that no tenants were displaced in the process. The ladies behind all that Southern fried goodness have requested an expedited hearing for their now-completed paperwork (the 166 South 4th St. storefront had been empty for several years before PnT set their sights on it). A 2008 opening is still the target, likely in December.
