Happy Holidays to All

They were these restaurants:

Bluebird Kitchen
Thai Spoon
Yinzburgh BBQ

Cafe Delhi

How many of us have been to these restaurants?
What do you think of these being singled out by Urbanspoon?
Do you feel they missed your favorite new restaurant of 2012?

I discovered this yummy delicious spread at Market District Giant Eagle today. It was above the Nutella beside the peanut butter. I thought I could only order this in a Biscoff cookie catalog. My lucky find for the week.

Happy 4th of July everyone.

I discovered a farmer's market this weekend. In Aspinwall on Freeport Rd. Loved it homemade bread jams jellies and dessert items too. Luma restaurant three blocks away. Delicious lunch was enjoyed at their shaded outdoor seating area.

I love The Porch. I was just there Thursday evening. Walking in I looked up . Do they have roof top dining? Maybe just plants up on roof but looked like seats too.

I understand can be found at Giant Eagle Market District along with other places. I want to try it Is it tasty? Any thoughts? Thanks

Sara,
Sunday dinner in Pittsburgh how is it?? I thought of Girasole but not sure if open on Sundays . Well you no doubt are enjoying a meal right now.

Should I put it on my list of places to go with May??

Cure is the name of the restaurant? I never heard of this restaurant as of yet. Its in Lawrenceville? I'll check it out and let you know. The restaurant isn't getting much PR. I did not know of it.

My vote is for Porch also. I can't wait til weather permits sitting out by the fireplace on the side of The Porch with bottles of wine and good friends. Happy Graduation!!

I stopped in again this morning for breakfast. I like the food. I see now they've extended their hours. They are no longer just breakfast(served all day) and lunch. They are open for dinner. I'll try them for dinner.
Anyone have thoughts on this place?

I adore Paris 66 reataurant. The staff are friendly. You can often find the owners walking about the place.

Many months back, I noticed on the Southside along with Cafe Allegro being gone. Le Prommier was boarded up also. I believe the chef past away . He was also part owner. I was disappointed I wanted to enjoy and celebrate a big birthday there.

Porch sounds like a keeper to me. I'll have to go back for dinner soon. Yep the pizza did look good from where I sat at the bar. Thanks didn't know they had sit down service for dinner.

You walk in are handed a menu by host/ hostess. Told to place your order at the counter. The counter is connected to the bar. There are ample booths and tables to choose. After, you place your order handed a number and directed to have a seat. They will bring you meal out to you. It's got that European flair. I was there for lunch. I enjoyed my meal and staff were very friendly.

Has anyone else eaten there? They are open for dinner to. Porch opened Nov. 14th.

Speaking of Avenue B I just got an email from them. They are preparing a 2nd anniversary dinner/ wine tasting meal scheduled for Dec. 12th 7:00p. Get your reservations in now.

Lew got to include Prerogies Plus preogies.

As I was growing up, My grandmother always had us over for leftover turkey. It was prepared as the chicken and waffles jiffypop and Lew Bryson describe above. Yum! The waffles were homemade too. No , let go my eggo in this scenerio. Grandma grew up in Pa Dutch/ MD country. Does anyone remember chicken pot pie with rolled out dough squares that would puff up cooked in chicken broth?Its another Pa Dutch recipe.

Rita's Italian Ice is big in Pa now but was a time could only get in East Coast( NJ)so they have expanded like so many.
Any idea where company originated?

I do enjoy Rita's Italian Ice to go with @gini comment East Coast above. Probablly the reason for like of the ice. My memories of beach vacations as a kid and the only place you could get Rita's was Ocean City NJ boardwalk.

A trip to or from Mercer Co or Ashtabula Oh (rt 11) wouldn't be complete for me without a stop at a Sheetz for coffee and a snack . MTO haven't had one in a while. Sounds good.

Augie6 is right pancakes are not always offered at cafe raymond . A blackboard out front tells you when. Ray's a good guy though. You can always ask for pancakes probably will make.If you are craving pancakes and nothing else will do. Pamela's are yummy or Deluca's.
