January 26 Run: Meet at Tazza D'Oro for a Highland Park Run

This Sunday, let's start/end at Tazza D'Oro at 1125 N. Highland Avenue for a run in Highland Park.  We will be as loud as we want and not worry about curmudgeons shooting us mean glances because after all, coffee shops are not libraries!

This past Sunday was a run in Lawrenceville starting with a loop around Allegheny Cemetery then a loop around Friendship/Garfield along Penn.

Along Penn Avenue we pass by our first endorsement, the new women-owned Halcyon Salon, where Elaine says you can get a haircut for $35.

Other endorsements for this vibrant part of Penn Ave include:

Penn Avenue Unblurred (gallery crawl)
Spak Brothers Pizza
1:1 Yoga
People's Indian Restaurant which has been there forever!
Arts & Crafts Botanica & Occult Shop
Los Sabrosos Dance Company

Not on Penn Avenue but endorsed:
Bitter Ends Garden Luncheonette

Back at Ineffable Ca Phe, we gathered by the fake fireplace and discussed:

Deer vision (which we correctly guessed is not great, about 20/100)
Camping
The Long Long Trailer movie
Waiting for Bittman (not  to be confused with Waiting for Guffman)
Mark Easton
Anthony Bourdain's controversial Pittsburgh special (you either loved it or hated it)
Rick Sebak sightings and antics

Future starting/ending location for a run, probably this summer:
Hallowed Ground Homestead
