We have a trip to Pittsburgh, PA coming up this week. Are any of you familiar with the area? Better yet, do you have a restaurant recommendation? Something good, locally loved, and not too expensive would be perfect.
And by the way, I will be stopping in the Pittsburgh IKEA to pick up the components needed for open shelves. I love that Holly left the shelves natural and the brackets white. As a matter of fact, I might just copy her.
Sounds like an awesome weekend.
ReplyDeletePittsburgh restaurants: The world famous Primanti Brothers for a sandwich -- definitely not healthy, but it's a meal in a bun!
ReplyDeleteNew restaurant in the East Suburbs called 'Roman Bistro' -- my friends have been giving it great reviews and say the prices are reasonable.
It would be expensive, but the view is awesome - a restaurant on Mt. Washington that over looks the Three Rivers and downtown Pittsburgh. I would ask a local which restaurant they'd recommend if you go that route.
I hear Penn Ave Fish Co. is great for seafood - they have a location in the Strip District (also where Primanti's is located) or in Downtown Pittsburgh on Forbes Ave.
If you go to Station Square, The Grand Concourse (an old train station) is good as is Buca Di Beppo (old-style Italian).
Enjoy your visit to Pittsburgh. I miss my hometown!
Bobbi, thank you! Great suggestions that we will have to explore. Someone left a comment on Facebook about the incline. Sounds like fun too! Thanks!

I'm in Pittsburgh. The Church Brew Works is really good and a fun experience. As the name implies the (deconsecrated) church holds a brewery and a restaurant. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThe Tiny Homestead, my husband lives this suggestion! Thank you!

ReplyDeleteWe lived in Pittsburgh for 3 years - Mt. Lebanon. My favorite restaurant was a tiny little one called Wild Rosemary. Enjoy - this time of year the weather is great!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely weekend away. While I've never been, Pamani Brothers (http://primantibros.com/home.html) is considered an institution on Pittsburgh (my sister-in-law went to school there)!
