wasn't me, but Mercurio's is a solid 8.5/10. Very good Neapolitan pies, I haven't had a better one this side of Europe.

it wasn't very good for how expensive it was, I went a few times when they opened and never went back

I think it's a thing with Asian cuisine / culture in general, honestly... I feel the same way at some Chinese places but if the food is good and I am their guest, then I don't mind :)

I share the same sentiments. CSD is quality ingredients and things are done with care. Can't beat the beer garden out back on a nice day, either. And the tavern has elite bar food all around. Fried pickles are top shelf too.

Thanks for the extra input! I don't take google reviews for gospel but anything under 4 stars usually gives me pause

Google reviews say a lot of bad service

If you like Michael's, some other South Side spots in the same spirit are Birmingham Bridge Tavern and Carson Street Deli. Local spots with fair prices and really solid food.

Yeah this always works

Once skipped one the whole way across the river from here

What a piece of shit bootlicking column. Send in more police to solve everything except address the deep economic and social injustice that we face day in and day out.

Yeah it's sad honestly because the location is killer

haha yeah I am not saying GC is particularly bad, just that it's okay for a lot more money. Maybe try Tako? Japanese-Mexican fusion, cool space, very modern downtown, family friendly enough. If you want a view your best bet is Altius, but that's a $$$$ sorta place.

college kids need cheap horrible food and that's just a fact

I think you can do better than Grand Concourse... Station Square and Ross Park are not all that unique and not really much to write home about.

If the kids are more mature, the museums will be a great way to spend an afternoon. In the morning, do take the incline up to Mt. Washington and check out the skyline... very touristy but definitely worth it if you haven't visited in a long time. Do you enjoy a certain type of cuisine? I could give a restaurant rec from there.

great question, I've always thought one would thrive in South Side and Oakland (doesn't even have to be a gas station, just a convenience store)

that's your prerogative! my point was that you are definitely missing out on some good spots (Cafe Moulin in Shadyside comes to mind!) by imposing that restriction

so you want breakfast in the afternoon and you aren't willing to go to the parts of the city with the highest density of dining options?

Deluca's in Robinson I guess?

This reminds me of the old Sim City News Ticker lmao

Ruggers. Great drink specials, cozy, extremely Pittsburgh. Always lively.

What sort of atmosphere are you looking for? Because I can go from dive to upscale and brewery to cocktail bar.

The southern beltway should eliminate most through traffic east-west

Ooof that's rough

Yup, plus an attached ICE station. You can be anywhere in Central Europe in like 3 hours on a train.

I did Condor to Frankfurt and it was GLORIOUS

Can we just do some of the real common sense stuff? Take a look at optimizing some bus routes, a few more protected bike lanes to connect the network, pedestrianize Market Square, Walnut Street, etc. and then do some cheap traffic calming and tree planting.

Price tag on all this would be very palatable and create a noticeable QOL increase.
