A Foodie Adventure: ‘Burgh Bits & Bites Tour

I’m a sucker for learning about all things food. So when my friend Chad said he had won two tickets in a charity fundraiser to a local neighborhood tasting tour, I jumped at the opportunity to gobble up bits of foodie facts only a Trivial Pursuit Champion could appreciate. I’ll admit it. Pittsburgh isn’t exactly [...]

DeLallo Italian Market Adventure

Having lived in Pittsburgh for nearly 1 ½ years, I’m still discovering pockets of great local markets that make my tummy flutter with glee.

A Fair in the Park

The smell of fried dough danced in the air as we sashayed between booths filled with an array of handcrafted pieces by local artists. I’ve been working pretty hard lately and a little art fair therapy was my idea of a relaxing day off. Nestled in a corner of Mellon Park in Pittsburgh, this weekend [...]

Chronicles of a Delicious Daycation
