With the warmer weather approaching (even though it seems to be teasing us at times), make certain to take a walk and patronize the restaurants, bakery, coffee shop, and market on Bryant Street and the surrounding HP area.

Also, I am realizing too many of you are unaware of the indoor market down in the strip, The Pittsburgh Public Market. This is a wonderful (and relatively new) addition to our city. Whether you have guests in town or simply want to have a very enjoyable morning, stop by this great new find. They have so much to offer. And, every time my family heads there, we are always pleasantly surprised by local live music and dancing. I am including a little information on the market below for your interest.

Pittsburgh has a public market with an outstanding group of vendors of local products to enhance what the Strip already offers. So check the list of merchants, marvel at the diversity and quality of their products, prepare for a new and exciting shopping experience, and come and get it!
