It’s Mardi Gras! Eat, drink, and be merry at Piper’s Pub.
RIP Blue Dust. There’s a new BBQ joint in town! Well, by “in town,” I mean “in Homestead.” Worth it!
Word on the street is that Nico’s finally nixed smoking inside, so we’re giving it a try.
Try the shrimp jammers! This is Redbeard’s downtown location.
North Shore. Southern Tier.
It’s still so dark out, it feels like the 11th Hour. But it’s bright inside.
Come on, Caliente’s website is worldsbestpizza.com. If it’s on the internet, it has to be true, right? Pay attention: this is the one in Aspinwall.
Ruggers Pub: a bar where missing a few teeth is the norm. (Rugby isn’t messing around.)
New isn’t always better. Silky’s is a long-standing institution.
Say it out loud. Say it again, but faster. Get it? The run is from Greenfield this week.
Happy New Year! Warm yourself by the fire at Fire Side Pub.

Beerhive: It’s where Saloon on the Strip used to be. (Suggested by Tim)
New place! Lawrence Hall. It’s where an 1890s warehouse that was used a movie theater used to be.
(Lolev seemed like a good idea, but they don’t have food trucks on Tuesdays. Whoops.)
New place! Brillobox: It’s where Penn Cafe used to be, and way before that, Ninehouser’s. And it’s been a tavern since 1895. That’s a track record. (Suggested by Jen)
Here’s the map. (Happy Thanksgiving!)

New spot! Hitchhiker Brewing in Sharpsburg is newly open on Tuesdays. It’s where Fort Pitt Brewing used to be. (Suggested by Jessica)

Free on street parking is offered on all surrounding streets. In areas where there is Residential Permit Parking, this is only M-F 6am-6pm and excludes weekends.
In addition, there are two municipal parking lots located within two blocks on 13th St.
