Bikes, BBQ, Beer and the Beagle Brothers in the Borough of Saltsburg

October 12, 2015 Lindsay

About 30 miles west of the city of Pittsburgh, an hour drive by car, along the Kiskiminetas River sits the very tiny Borough of Saltsburg. If you have been reading IheartPGH this summer, you know that I have been spending a lot of time learning about local historic preservation, which has given me the opportunity to learn about many more places of historic interest.

Pinball Perfection

Restaurant Review: BOhèm Bistro in Seven Fields

June 19, 2013 Emma

You don’t need a plane ticket to Europe to feel like you’re there this summer–a quick drive to BOhèm Bohemian Bistro in Seven Fields can do just the trick. The rustic design and Euro-centric menu will leave diners feeling like they’ve left Pittsburgh for a bit. Let’s start with the decor, which owner Markay Harlan proudly explains is both recycled and personal. BOhèm capitalizes on reusing elements to furnish the space situated next to Siba in a small strip mall. The restaurant is small, but comfortable, and bursting with character–much like small bistros in France. The chandeliers are remnants of… Read the rest

“Color Me Rad” Brings Fitness and Fun to First Niagara Pavilion

June 10, 2013 Emma

Hordes of color-splattered runners took over First Niagara Pavilion yesterday, Sunday June 9, for the “Color Me Rad” 5k.
