Lidia’s, Pittsburgh, PA

On the last day of her visit, my sister (who lives in Boston) suggested that we go to Lidia’s for brunch. Wait, Lidia’s in the Strip has brunch? They do indeed.

The Inn on Negley, Shadyside

I’ve always liked brunch- it means that I’ve slept in, and am still going to get some good breakfast food, which is my favorite. A good friend of mine gave me a gift certificate to The Inn at Negley; a Bed and Breakfast place that I had never heard of. It’s in the heart of Shadyside, so we hopped in the car and were off to eat.

Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day is right around the corner, have you made plans yet? Don’t be one of those people who waits until the last minute! Traditionally, people choose brunch for this special day. If you’d like to try something different, make reservations at a nice restaurant for Saturday evening instead of Sunday day. By doing this, you can avoid the crowds, and even start a new tradition. In addition to having a meal out with your family, buy your Mother some nice roses and candy; she did raise you after all!

Pamela’s is usually on our list, but it’s not always accessible on Saturday and Sunday. On this particular day, we found ourselves on Filbert Street, at Crepes Parisiennes.

Harris Grill, Shadyside, PA

When I thought of Harris Grill, I’d think of a bunch of hipsters sprawled out on the patio with clove cigarettes and PBR, talking about their new garage band or their sister’s new girlfriend.
