Over the next three days, I'm going to post a few "quick bites" of meals where I only enjoyed one dish or where I dined alone in 2016. I wanted to highlight these three restaurants for their unique place in Pittsburgh's ever-growing culinary scene. Bea's Taco Town offers authentic Mexican in the heart of Downtown, filling a … Continue reading Quick Bite 11-9-16 / Bea’s Taco Town / Pittsburgh, PA

For the next few weeks or so, I'm going to be publishing meals that unfortunately I didn't get to from the months of September to December. I'll also be updating with new meals that I'm enjoying currently, please just check the dates on the articles and you'll see when they were enjoyed.

Before going to see The Moth mainstage at the Byham Theater, my wife and I stopped into tako to grab some dinner. We'd eaten here previously, at the open kitchen seating outside, but tonight we were able to snag a seat at the bar. The bar manager was extremely warm and conversational, an incredible feat, especially … Continue reading 8-31-16 / tako / Pittsburgh, PA

A couple of weekends ago, my wife and I were Downtown to see a show Saturday night at the Arcade Comedy Theater. We decided it'd be ideal to head to a restaurant and utilize their valet service rather than trying to negotiate the ballet that is parking, enjoying dinner, and seeing a show Downtown. We … Continue reading 6-4-16 / Mezzo (2nd Floor of Sienna Mercato) / Pittsburgh, PA

Friday afternoon I had the pleasure of joining an old coworker down in Market Square for lunch. We chose Poros, a new restaurant in the Y Group (which includes Perle, Ceviche, Nola, and Sonoma). It was a beautiful day, so they opened up all of the exterior walls to their patio area. They've got an … Continue reading 5-28-16 / Poros / Pittsburgh, PA
