I know it seems random, but I have family in town that are wondering where to get this stuff. Thanks for any help you guys can give me!

Fish Mkt with some items to eat in - not a restaurant per se. We like Girasole in Shadyside for Italian. Although it's had it's detractors of late. Not typical "red sauce" joint. Generally take a look at the various Big Burrito restaurants. Point Brugge in Point Breeze. You may find City Paper and Pittsburgh magazine helpful.

No matter, I agree that you should wander around the Strip District on a Sat. morning to get a taste of what's available. It's a lot of fun for a foodie! http://burghfeeding.blogspot.com/ Mon Nov 09 07:27:04 -0800 2009 5163707 281386 Burghfeeder 1 5167172 For donuts I suggest Peace, Love, and Little Donuts in the strip. They make the donuts basically to order and have all kinds of different options as far as cake styles and toppings. The donuts in my opinion are great, and the guys working are incredibly friendly!

I will be sure to never go there! Who would have though someone who makes donuts for a living could have so much hate in their heart. Donuts should be filled love...and bacon.

Closer in, I've heard good things about Paddy Cake bakery on Liberty Ave and Dozen at a couple of locations around the city. Some of the best clam chowder, in my opinion, can be had at Roland's in the Strip. As far as seafood, you might try out Mallorca on the South Side. Their seafood selections never fail to impress and there'll be something for the carnivores in the group as well. Italian, I would strongly recommend Dinette in East Liberty for some thin crust pizza goodness and Dish Osteria and Bar in the Southside.
