Excellent eats for everyone. Ask to sit in the garden when it's not cold, it's beautiful. I recommend their mango-chicken salad, but it's excellent for vegans and vegetarians.

Great beer and good food. Very reasonably priced, outdoor seating for warm days. Open late, and a good hang to meet people. A good spot before or after a game. Great for a post-run beer, then you can walk back home and nurse sore muscles.

This place is a diamond in the rough. Most Pittsburghers don't even know about this place. What it lacks in looks on the outside it MORE than makes up in taste once you're inside.

This is a MUST try! Call for a reservation, but if they're booked, don't worry, just show up and if you hang for 10 minutes you can get a table or sit at the bar. It is worth it! It's a bit pricey for tacos, but the splurge is worth it.

Vegetarian/Vegan? This place is fantastic! Omnivore? You won't even realize it's vegetarian or vegan. Upscale/Elevated cuisine at a really excellent price point. I recommend the chef's table if you call or make some reservations. It not, it's still a fantastic meal! Great for a date, or something special.
