Greek Food is Good Food

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… Read the rest

New Monthly Beer Tasting at The Warhol

This is a nice twist on an already great idea. Big Burrito has been hosting wine tastings at the Warhol for years. They are spicing things up a bit with new beer tastings.

Check out the Post-Gazette’s article on Fish Fries here.… Read the rest

New Guild Studio’s Holiday Open House

I was already going to post about this event because anything that is happening in Braddock is usually worth a visit. So when I received this email from the Deputy Mayor of Braddock I knew it would be worth a look. A chance to do some holiday shopping in Braddock (and not the mall) in another plus. I then looked up the website for New Guild Studios – www.newguildstudio.com New Guild Studio is definitly worth a visit – they specialize in religious art – restoration or construction of some large scale pieces. I have always wondered who works on these… Read the rest
