We love to update yinz about the yummiest new places to grab a bite or bev in the Burgh! Check out what caught our eye this week 🤤

☕ The Boredom Set x Heat Check

If you love browsing vintage clothing while sipping on a freshly brewed bev, this Shadyside spot is a must-visit. Head to the second floor above lululemon to find both fresh styles and flavors from the Heat Check’s thrift shop and The Boredom Set’s micro-roastery.

🍽️ One by Spork

Christian Frangiadis, executive chef and owner of Spork in Garfield, has a new vision for the restaurant that’s “designed to surprise and delight with each visit.” Instead of ordering à la carte, diners pay $275 to experience an eight-course tasting menu including wine and cocktail pairings. Budget a bit more for tax and tip!

🇺🇿 Piyola

Head to Mt. Lebanon to try the hearty flavors of Uzbek cuisine — a blend of Turkic and Persian traditions — known for dishes like plov (rice pilaf), samsa (puff pastry stuffed with meat or vegetables), pemeni (crispy mini dumplings), and lagman (made with hand-pulled noodles).

🎖️ Brave Bean

The Warhol’s Pop District on the North Side just got a boost with the addition of this veteran-owned coffee roaster, based out of Pitcairn. And it’s caffeine for a cause! A portion of Brave Bean’s sales goes to the Wounded Warrior Project.
