Lawrenceville

Lawrenceville is the cool, older sister other neighborhoods in the city aspire to be. Along with some of the yummiest food spots in the ‘burgh, there’s also the best nightlife and countless little shops & markets to check out!

Safe to say The Parlor is one of our favorite spots in Lawrenceville - it’s a weekly stop for us! They’re known for their dim sum (which is to die for, get the scallion sauce and thank me later) but my absolute favorite is the roast duck noodle soup!...

The Parlor Dim Sum

Walter’s BBQ Southern Kitchen is a staple in Lawrenceville. From juicy barbecue to a life-sized game of connect four, there’s a reason Walter’s is always packed! Perfect for sitting at the indoor/outdoor bar and watch the Pirates lose (lol) or grabbi...

The oxtail… that’s all

Pizza Lupo

Now this place is a new one for me - I hadn’t even heard of it until my lawrenceville friends introduced me and we’ve already been back since! It’s a block or two off the main strip so you’ll find all the locals at this cool little Irish pub. Note...

Cork Harbour Pub

Shadyside

Another little gem of a neighborhood the city has to offer! A ton of delicious, local restaurants to try out and great shopping. Every second Saturday during the summer they host “Jam on Walnut” which is my all time favorite event - they shut down th...

Located in the heart of Shadyside. Noodlehead offers amazing (and super cheap) Thai food. Keep in mind that they are cash only and BYOB. They do have an ATM located in the back of the restaurant My Order: -Crispy Veggie Spring Rolls -Sukothai -rice ...

The coziness little Italian restaurant located in Shadyside, with a delicious seasonal menu. Whether it’s a romantic date night or family dinner, you need to put this on your list for the bread and oil alone!! You can really taste the love they put i...

Waterfront

A little off the beaten path but has so much to offer - you can find delicious food and even an outdoor shopping mall

Shhh! Don’t tell anyone about this hidden gem. Duke’s is my FAVORITE “dive” bar in Pittsburgh. Other than their mouthwatering food, Duke’s offers a draft list to die over, a hometown feel and staff that feels like family. Shuffleboard, dart board and...

Duke's Upper Deck Cafe

Are you sure we’re in Pittsburgh?

Redfin Blues

Nestled in the center of all 3 rivers, North Shore is truly the heart of the city. Home of both the Steelers and Pirates stadiums, Rivers Casino, the biggest bars in the city and last but certainly not least iconic Pittsburgh eats

Shorty’s Pin & Pints arguably one of the best atmospheres in PGH and I actually used to bartend here! Located right in North Shore and walking distance to both the Steelers and Pirates stadiums, Shorty’s is the perfect place to grab a bite! I per...

Mt Washington

I lived up on the Mount for years and can happily say it still remains my absolute favorite place. Go for the best views in the city and stay for the delicious food

Gordo’s Tacos and Tequila is the new kid on the block in Mt Washington, but don’t let that deter you! They offer a super fun and lively atmosphere with indoor/outdoor seating and two full service bars. It’s also a quick 2ish minute walk to the best v...

Gordo's Tacos & Tequila

This little gem is located in Mt Washington and holds a very special place in my heart. A few years ago I moved into my first house up on the mount and this was our first stop after we unloaded the U-Haul. Since then I’ve worked my way through almost...

Coughlin's Law Kitchen and Ale House

North Hills

Don’t let the suburbs scare you off - the North Hills is filled with all the restaurants the locals won’t tell you about! Shhh 🤫 don’t tell on me!

Over the Bar at the Boathouse is located right on the stunning North Park Lake. Many of my friends have worked here over the years, so it’s safe to say I know my way around the menu! Perfect for date night or brunch with the fam. Excellent drink menu...

Strip District

The Strip District on a Sunday is a staple in Pittsburgh. Half a square mile of iconic restaurants, fresh meat & fish markets, ethnic grocers and all the PGH merch you could want - don’t skip it!

Pamela’s is an old school diner located in the historic Strip District. It’s been around since the 80s and has arguably the best breakfast in the ‘burgh My Order: - Pamela’s famous crepe-style hotcakes! Now I don’t like pancakes but these ones I ma...
