Oakland is probably the most delicious neighborhood in Pittsburgh. More tasty treats are packed into a few blocks, all conveniently located near hospitals and universities. This event looks like it is a recipe for success - $5 gets you free samples at 24 local dining establishments plus free admission to the Carnegie museum and free rides on the carousel - I don’t know why you would want to ride that after eating your way down Forbes ave, but if the merry-go-round is your thing, then it is an extra good deal for you.

It is the most wonderful time of the year in Pittsburgh, and I am talking about more than the weather. It is time for the annual Saint Nicholas Greek Food Festival of deliciousness. I heart ethnic food festivals as much as I heart PGH. These food festivals are the big part of what make Pittsburgh great - people volunteering their time, to benefit their communities and to serve really great food.
St. Nicks is probably the biggest and tastiest of the food festivals in the area. There is often a line, but it is worth the wait. There is seating in the very large gymnasium and under the tent outside which is right on Forbes Avenue, just across from the Carnegie Museum of Art.
As if the food was not reason enoug to attend, you could run into your favorite Steeler. From The Burgh Blog -Troy Palamalu attended the Greek Food Festival last year.
The Festival runs Sunday May 4 to May 9, 2008. More details, a menu and pick up order form are available here.
Festival Hours:
Sunday:
Noon to 8:00 PM
Monday – Thursday:
Lunch: 11:00 AM to 2:00 PM
Dinner: 5:00 PM to 9:00 PM
Friday:

Luckily, I read the paper today and I came across this event. I love neighborhood food dinners almost as much as I love Pittsburgh. I love the idea of bringing the neighborhood together over a big pot of Spaghetti to raise money for the neighborhood. I was already sold on this event before I read that Susan Banahasky was the organizer behind this years Spaghetti dinner. Anything that Susan is involved in is worth your time.
