[Highland Park] thanksgiving restaurant recommendations--THANKS!
by Suzi 12 Nov '07

12 Nov '07

Thank you for all your Thanksgiving suggestions. I secured reservations at the Sheraton Station Square. Some of you requested a list, so here it is: My husband and I on a whim went to Le Pommier (412-431-1901) four years ago for Thanksgiving, and it was so good, we now go there every year. We even took our family who visited last year and they loved it too. Lamordozzi's (not sure of the spelling) in Bloomfield did a nice Thanksgiving spread. Of course I was there many years ago, but I would imagine it's just as good today. Franco's in Aspinwall is serving Thanksgiving Dinner. The resturaunt is located in the Fox Chapel Plaza right off Rt. 28 I have been the the Hyehold in Moon twice for Thanksgiving. They serve a wonderful dinner at your choice of two sittings, early and later (get the sherry bisque-delicious!). I suggest the new restaurant "Joseph" on Bryant Street, we have been twice now and it is excellent. (BOOK IN ADVANCE for next year, they are booked solid) A number of years ago I took out-of-town family to the William Penn Hotel, downtown on Mellon Square. The dinner, the room, etc. were terrific. I dont remember the hotel chain that owns the William Penn. Its worth a look. (BOOK IN ADVANCE for next year, they are booked solid.) The Grand Concourse at Station Square serves a lovely Thanksgiving feast. I also found this link on about.com: The first page lists restaurants, the second page lists places that offer take out. http://pittsburgh.about.com/od/thanksgiving/a/dinner.htm I cant vouch that any of the restaurants have openings, I only called the William Penn, the Grand Concourse and the Sheraton. Good luck and happy Thanksgiving to all! Suzi Wackerbarth Heberton St. __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

My name is Kelly and I'm a fellow resident of Highland Park. I'm 25 years old, I have a BA in Psychology from Grove City College. Since college I have been a Therapeutic Staff Support, doing one on one intensive therapy for children on the autistic spectrum, and then working in child and adolescent psychiatry research working with children with depression and anxiety.

I am certified in First Aid, CPR, Crisis Prevention Intervention, I have my Child Abuse clearances. I have a 2 year old reliable, safe car and a good drving record. Right now I am in between jobs and despite having a degree and experience, opportunities are hard to come by, so I thought I would see if anyone on the listserve was looking for childcare from someone qualified, trustworthy and in the neighborhood. I have posted to the list before but have recently had some openings in my schedule. Please feel free to contact me via email at lifelessordinary(a)gmail.com if you think I might be a fit for your family or have any questions. Thank you. Kelly

by Debi Arnett 12 Nov '07

I live in highland park and work two jobs providing services for new or existing business owners. I provide leads to others in HP all the time for business owners I use, so I thought I would do a little advertisement for me. If you have a business or know someone who is opening one please let them know about my services. I work for a company Advanced Fire that provides fire extinguishers, sprinklers, ansul systems and fire alarms. We do new construction and modifications for lease spaces and we also do inspections on all of these systems as well as back flow preventer valves (required by city of Pgh and most municipalities). For this type of service please call me at 724 640-8358. I also work for RBSLynk as a merchant credit card processor. Our company owns Citizens bank and Citizens Financial Group. If you are opening a new business and want to process credit cards or an existing business who would like their credit card statements reviewed to see if I can improve on your package please call me at 412 519-6848. You do not have to be a Citizens bank customer. NOTE: We have a special promotional program for Dr's, Lawyers and Accountants that is going on now through the end of the year. If you are a professional in this field it is a great time to talk with me on this. Debi Arnett __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
