[Highland Park] Anyone going to Buenos Aires this month?
by Michelle Belan 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Neighbors: My daughter (20) is volunteering in Argentina and is currently living in Buenos Aires, through the end of March. I am trying to send her a small care package, mostly a few articles of clothing and the next three (lightweight paperback) Sookie Stackhouse books. The last time I sent her a care package, it took more than a month to arrive. In April, she leaves Buenos Aires for Salta, which is three hours away, so if the package arrives after she leaves, she likely will not receive it at all. I thought I'd check to see if anyone would be heading to Buenos Aires this month who'd be willing to take this very small collection of items. Everything I'm sending now fits in a large tyvek envelope and weighs less than five pounds. Any travelers out there who might be willing to do this? I'd happily negotiate a fee for your trouble.

[Highland Park] E2 - The Enrico Biscotti Company in Highland Park
by Enrico Biscotti 04 Mar '10

04 Mar '10

Hello Highland Park residents! We are so excited about being part of the neighborhood!!! We would like to thank everyone for such a great response, their kind words, and for making us feel like a neighbor from the first time we opened out doors. Last week, we launched with a "quiet" opening hoping to work out some of the new bugs, shake out the butterflies in our bellies, and find out what menu items would fit into Highland Park. This "quiet" opening ended up being more of a "grand" event coupled with a packed house, friendly chatter, boisterous laughs, and full tummies. So, we are curious what our "loud" opening is going to be like - Ok- here it goes!! - We are standing at the top of the largest hill of Highland Park (or from the top of Kings Estate) and roaring - WE ARE OPEN!!! Saturday & Sunday for brunch and light lunch 9am - 3pm. We do all sorts of catering and an awesome space for rental... Come check us out - bring your Uncle Joe - and eat some of our ginger doughnuts. E2 - The Enrico Biscotti Company "Were going to love it here!" 5904 Bryant Street PIttsburgh, PA 15206 412-441-1200 -- Jordan Kay The Enrico Biscotti Company & Flying Biscotti Catering "One of America's Top Ten Bakeries" 2022 Penn Avenue Pittsburgh, PA 15222 412-281-2602 412-448-3160(cell) Find us on Facebook!
