Game day ready // We’re celebrating the Steelers home opener with a selection of the finest vintage Steelers gear available from Pittsburgh second-hand sellers.
Worth the drive // Our beer pick of the week is Flying Pieces, a hazy IPA from Fury Brewing in North Huntingdon. The brewmaster at Fury is self-taught and has a knack for great beer.
#PGHProTip // You can still grab lunch for less than $5. Head to The Pretzel Shop on Carson Street for a handmade pretzel.
Everything must go // Yard Sale Season continues! This Saturday is the Greenfield Neighborhood Yard Sale; find all the details in our Neighborhood Yard Sale Guide here.
Beautiful bugs // Pittsburgh Illustrator Brooke Barker (aka @SadAnimalFacts on Instagram) had a comic featured in The New York Times. Check out our Q&A with Brooke to learn more about her favorite Pittsburgh facts here.
On the road again // Driftwood Oven, the pizza shop in Lawrenceville loved by locals and Chrissy Teigen, started out as a mobile pizza oven before opening a storefront. During the month of September, Driftwood is rolling out the mobile oven and popping up at some of our favorite spots around town.
Shop local above Pittsburgh // A pop-up marketplace with a view. Industrious, a coworking space on the 31st floor of PPG 1, is hosting a pop-up market and happy hour on Thursday, September 19. We’ll be there and you should be too. Register ahead of time to get a free drink and a swag bag.
