What visitors are loving in Pittsburgh on Yelp

Yelp logo 2Image by sarabear via FlickrYelp.com is a great website where you can read and write reviews of local businesses (see my other post on Yelp here).  I was just looking around at some of the recent reviews in Pittsburgh here are some of the 4 and 5 star reviews from people who were visiting Pittsburgh.  Pittsburgh is not yet included on Yelp’s list of major cities, but I think we should work on that.  If you haven’t Yelped yet – start now.  And add IheartPGH as a friend too.

Pamela’s – Ryan from Oregon

…their pancakes are pure ambrosia.  I’ve never done cocaine, but I bet it feels like how Pamela’s pancakes taste.  Their homefries are excellent too.  They make great toast.

Moio’s Italian Pastry Shop – Kevin from Virgina

…their Tiramisu is out of this world so if you are leaving Pittsburgh or coming into Pittsburgh stop by Moios in Monroeville

Cafe Du Jour – Jonathan from California

…too bad i live almost 2500 miles away, or this would be my monthly chill hang for a european siesta. and it’s more than reasonable on price for what you get.

You will go out for dinner on Sunday – 3rd Annual Big Bennefit

You don’t really want to cook dinner on Sunday, you should gather your family and friends and head to your favorite Big Burrito establishment on Sunday, October 12, 2008 for the Big Benefit.  100% of all food sales on Sunday will go to support the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank.  I have long been a fan of Mad Mex which is still probably my most favorite place to dine in Pittsburgh.  I have had the wonderful opportunity to get to know some of the good folks, (check out chef Bill Fuller’s blog here) at Big Burrito and I am an even bigger fan.  The Big Burrito folks are true Pittsburgh lovers and they give generously to support Pittsburgh causes.

100% of all food sales from this night will go to local hunger relief organizations.

Our Pittsburgh restaurants will benefit the Greater Pittsburgh Community Food Bank. The GPCFB collects and distributes food via a 350+ member network throughout southwestern Pennsylvania, ranging from soup kitchens and food pantries to emergency and disaster related agencies.

Here is a list of Big Burrito establishments as well as some reviews from other bloggers:

The Red Oak Cafe is Rooted in Pittsburgh

Karen D. has the correct answer to the most recent photo trivia – this picture is the writing above the door at the Red Oak Cafe in Oakland.  Friend of IheartPGH suggested this place for lunch earlier this month and I have been back twice.  You can read my review of Red Oak Cafe here on Yelp.
