Restaurants or cafes serving crusted fruit pies

Song to Pie by Roy Blount, Jr.

Pie.
Oh my.
Nothing tastes sweet,
Wet, salty and dry
All at once so well as pie.
Apple and pumpkin and mince and black bottom,
I’ll come to your place every day if you’ve got ‘em.
Pie.

While I appreciate Mr. Blount's particular pie tastes, I'm actually looking for fruit pies: blueberry, strawberry (with or without rhubarb), apple, blackberry, even peach ... If it's not too much to ask for a traditional, flaky crust. Served warm. Maybe even a scoop of ice cream.

Anything north of TriBeCa, south of Columbus Circle, would be ideal. If it's really great pie, though, anywhere in Manhattan will do.

Where do I find a great slice of pie in this town?
