The menu will soon feature a selection of beer on top of its cocktail list, which currently includes fun twists on classics like the lavender sour, peachy mule, Bad Blood Old Fashioned, and Binny Bambino Limencello.

Forma Pasta

At the beginning of the month, Forma Pasta opened the doors of its new restaurant and cafe. Previously serving as a hand-made pasta subscription service before moving into the retail world, you can now enjoy Forma Pasta’s freshly made noodles and sauce — among other menu offerings like handhelds, soups, and salads — in a casual eating setting.

Vibrant Sunshine Juicery Cafe

The former Patty’s Farm Market is now the home of freshly made juices and plant-forward eats. From the owners of local cold-presser juices Pittsburgh Juice Company, Vibrant Sunshine Juicery Cafe provides sandwiches, salads, bowls — from acai to falafel — and PJC beverages, like their kombucha and raw, pressed juice.

Wilson’s Bar-B-Q

As the saying goes, what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger (and maybe more delicious?). After a fire destroyed Wilson’s Bar-B-Q storefront in 2019, the family take-out spot has reopened just a few doors down from its original space.
