Back to Troy Hill - last seen by us in 2019 (pre-pandemic!) One change since then - opening of a De Fer Cafe at 1800 Rialto (map) where we'll meet. First part of Rialto is pretty steep, but this is Pittsburgh. (If you want to go up more gradually, you can go over the 16th St. bridge from the Strip - look at the map for how to do it.)
Last week we went the other way on Penn to see its industrial/wholesale/residential side. We bemoaned the criminal lack of a bathroom at La Prima, so just stopped by Colangelo's for the meles and enjoyed them with the excellent coffee (who knew?) at the gigantic Aslin Beer Co. at the Terminal. Discoveries and endorsements:
- The AT&T on Penn Ave. (if that's your internet provider) has no waiting and great service.
- the adorable Dash toaster oven recently on sale at Target
- Salem's Market and Grill, for Middle Eastern lunch, catering, shopping - better all the time.
- So is the long-beloved Ali Baba on Craig St.
- D'Anoia's for Italian
- Cousins Maine Lobster for lobster rolls that a former New Englander might start crying over.
- Coughlin's Law Kitchen & Ale
