Pittsburgh Restaurant Week

It’s that time of summer….RESTAURANT WEEK!! This is by far my favorite week of the year. If you’ve never heard of Pittsburgh Restaurant Week it’s the one week each summer and winter where the best of Pittsburgh’s restaurants offer Prix Fixe menus. The prices range between $20-$45 per meal, depending on the restaurant. I have…

Pup Friendly Dining

The weather has been GORGEOUS in Pittsburgh lately and outdoor seating at restaurants has been POPPIN’. You’ve probably seen a lot of restaurants boast about their outdoor patios and balconies where you can grab a bite, but I’m here to share some outdoor spaces that are pup-friendly as well! Many places have a small number…

Clean Juice Beginner Cleanse

Alright, PEEPS. I am here to share with you my experience with my very first juice cleanse! I had been thinking about doing one for a couple of weeks after reading about them on Clean Juice’s website and writing an article on local juiceries in January.

Best Burgh Seafood

With the Lenten season upon us, there has been a lot of talk about fish. This made me realize I have never rounded up my favorite seafood places, and seafood is my favorite! These are year round places so any seafood lover can get down with some sushi, lobster mac, or crab cakes. I’ve been…

A Day with People of the Burgh

I wanted to round up all of the things I mentioned on the gram so everyone can enjoy my recommendations. So without…

Pittsburgh Breweries to Hit

For anyone who knows me, you probably know I am a big beer drinker. I’m primarily an IPA gal, but I will try any beer at least once! I love holiday beers, fruity beers, dessert themed beers and even a domestic Bud Light every now and then 😉 I wanted to take my love of…

Hofbräuhaus Pittsburgh

If you’re looking for a fun day or nighttime bite and drinks, Hofbräuhaus is a perfect fit! I went 2 weeks ago for their Oktoberfest celebration and had so much fun. Oktoberfest is something I always like to go out for because everyone is always having such a fun time and enjoying the live music…
