Meet at the stone circle next to Frick Park Bowling Greens (map) in Pt. Breeze. Best parking is on Reynolds at S. Lexington. You'll need to figure out the best way to arrive considering the marathon road closures. Then after the run, coffee at Jane's house (a few blocks away)!
Last week covered the Strip on the Lawrenceville end, but centered on Art All Night, which was as always quirky and weirdly fascinating - Pittsburgh to the core. Our second time at the local James Cafe found us in a delightfully cozy room to ourselves, with sunny windows, decent coffee, but so-so scones. Also the best schmooze and endorsements:
- Scone-wise, the fondly recalled Panera's orange ones, which are apparently easy to duplicate at home.
- Jak's Bakery in Bloomfield - also formerly endorsed - has an outlet in the venerable year-round Saturday morning East Liberty Farmer's Market.
- Pino's Restaurant in Pt. Breeze, no longer the sad place you go when you can't get into Point Brugge. Especially with the new back patio.
- Kimicata Brothers landscaping (but what's their attitude towards leafblowers?)
- The bluets , now happening in May.
- Also in May - weekend RG bike rides have begun - stay tuned!
- Jazz at the Pittsburgh Winery.
- Though we love to jointly plan and kvell about weddings and their accoutrements, there is something to be said for the courthouse.
