Things to do (that we love too) in Pittsburgh!

We've compiled a little list of things that we love to do in our fair city in case you're looking for any 'insider fun' whilst in the 'burgh this weekend! We are REALLY looking forward to seeing all of you so very soon!

Restaurants:
People's Indian Restaurant- Our favorite Indian restaurant in Pittsburgh, as well as best lunch buffet! You will almost undoubtedly leave veeeerrrry full but verrrry satisfied.

Trams Kitchen, Vietnamese Cuisine- Another local favorite! Try the fresh spring rolls and the pho! but remember that it is cash only!

Smiling Banana Leaf- A fantastic Highland Park (Morgan's current neighborhood) Thai Restaurant. Small inside, but great for takeout. Try the Curry Fried Rice, Green Curry, or the Pad Thai.

Dinette- Delicious Seasonal Pizzas and more (with a local, sustainable focus)

Point Brugge Cafe
- Our favorite date spot! Located in a cute neighborhood, with great ambiance and great food! Try the mussels, cheese plate, or the salad with warmed goat cheese!

Coffeeshops:
Enrico's TazzaD'Oro- Morgan's place of work located in Highland Park! plus delicious coffees from Verve Coffee Roasters in Santa Cruz, CA. Try a French Press or a traditional Italian Cappuccino!

Espressso A Mano- One of our favorite spots to hang out, run into friends, and chat with the owner, our good friend Matt. There are cute boutiques galore on Butler Street in this artsy neighborhood of Lawrenceville. Serving Commonplace Espresso and Counter Culture Coffees. Try a latte and a sfogliatelle!

Voluto Coffee- Now our new neighborhood coffee shop, site of latte art throwdowns and some mega talented baristas. They serve 49th Parrallel and a variety of guest espressos. Excellent tea as well!
