Pittsburgh

[zsero]

I'll be in downtown Pittsburgh next week, for just a few hours (from 8 till 11); I assume there's still nothing at all kosher outside Squirrel Hill, so I'll be bringing my own food. Any suggestions for what to do for a few hours downtown at night? (I'm thinking go up the incline and catch the view from Mt Washington; any better ideas? And wouldn't it be great if there *was* something kosher up top there?)

I don't keep kosher, but generally speaking I think you'll have a good bit of luck looking around squirrel hill as many of the residents of that area do.

Yes, I know about Milky Way, on Murray Ave., which last time I was in P'bgh was the *only* kosher eatery in town. I was asking whether something had opened closer to downtown (and that might perhaps be open after 8). Not because I expected there to be one; but just in case there was, I didn't want to find out about it *after* my trip.

I just confirm with a friend in Squirrel Hill (who does keep kosher). No options down-town.

There's a kosher dairy place that's an offshoot of the one in Squirrel Hill right in the middle of Oakland, where Pitt is.

Interesting. Shamash.org/kosher doesn't list it yet; would you care to add it? Or give a URL where we can find out details?

Lot of cheap beer not too far from downtown in Oakland near the Universities. Other than that not much...

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Huh?

I think the East Liberty section is getting hip. I personally loved going to the Heinz Museum, but all the other museums are good too.

[mrmoose]

he is going to be there from 8-11 at night (at least I think)

Oakland is most of the way to Squirrel Hill.

Can't help you with downtown activities, but on my visits to the area, Murray Ave Kosher delivered delicious meals.
