Naya, a "new"restaurant on Murray Avenue
by Margot Cavalier 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Highland Park neighbors, Just discovered Naya, a great "new" restaurant at 2018 Murray Ave. Some of the best Middle Eastern food I've ever had, great service and the absolute best hummus. Delicious vegetarian entrees such as baked vegetables. Try the shrimp kabobs, which I did not expect in a Middle Eastern restaurant. Heard it's been open for a couple of years, but with all the wonderful restaurants in Highland Park, I hadn't noticed what's happening on Murray Ave! Margot Cavalier Sent from my iPhone

Bagpipes on Sunday! Our Patronal Feast . . . .
by Bruce Robison 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

At St. Andrew's: Founded 1837, at 5801 Hampton Street in Highland Park since 1906 . . .. Our Parish Custom is to celebrate our Patronal Festival, the Feast of St. Andrew the Apostle, on the Sunday before the Thanksgiving Holiday. On Sunday, November 22nd, then, "St. Andrew, Observed," our services will be the Holy Communion at 9 a.m. in the Chapel and a festival, choral service of Morning Prayer and the Holy Communion at 11 a.m. in the Church. The Rector will preside and preach, and we will be joined at the later service by our good friends of the Syria Highlanders Pipe and Drum Band. Weather permitting, the Highlanders will begin at about 10:45 a.m. in front of the Church. Our 10 a.m. Coffee and Conversation Hour, downstairs in Barley Hall, will invite reflections on the topic, "How I came to St. Andrew's, and what this community means to me." All welcome! A classic Pittsburgh "Cookie Table" will be the centerpiece of a refreshment hour following both services. (And if you can add to the Cookie Table, thank you! Please bring contributions to Brooks Hall before service on Sunday.) http://www.standrewspgh.org http://revbmrobison.blogspot.com/

Missing Package
by Katharine C. Yates 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hi neighbors, Has anyone seen a package addressed to Katharine (or Katie) Yates? It was supposedly delivered to my apartment early last week, but I haven't seen it and the post office is unable to locate it. If it was delivered to anyone by mistake, please let me know - otherwise, I guess we can just add this one to the growing list of packages that mysteriously go missing in Highland Park/East Liberty. Thanks, Katie

Keurig B70 Coffee brewing system like new for sale
by Jeff Dumm 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

this machine is less than six weeks old and it just started brewing only half a cup. I was told it can be fixed with a paper clip, but my expertise is computers and not coffee brewers (one's that I don't have specs on). It retails for 430 on Amazon and I've seen it as low as 300 online. I would like to sell it for at least 120 but can negotiate. Here's a pix of it from Amazon, and mine looks just as good-perfect condition. If you want it, you'd have to come to Carnegie to get it. Let me know Jeff Dumm 412 628 2477

Recommended Electrician
by Sara Cole 16 Nov '15

16 Nov '15

Hello Neighbors, Can anyone recommend a good, affordable, local electrician who can take out an old lighting fixture and install a new one? I'm especially interested in someone who will take care to remove the old fixture since it is an antique, and while I no longer want it installed, I still would like to preserve it. Thanks ahead of time for all leads, Sara
