There will be plenty to see and do during Chow Bella and Roosevelt Row's Pie Social on November 15, but stay focused -- there will be plenty of hungry people with the same mission:
Drop off the pies (optional), get the tasting tickets, find the best pies, taste, and repeat.
But no need to stress. In an effort to help maximize your pie-eating efficiency (and give you a few things to check out while you're in the 'hood), we have a printable map, official details and a few hints to help you on your way.
Happy pie eating.
