*Hello Fellow Neighbors,* * * *I want to encourage each of you to support our local businesses in Highland Park and in the city. * * * *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 <http://pittsburghpublicmarket.org/> 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!* *Location: Produce Terminal Building 2100 Smallman St. @ 17th* * * *Spring/Summer Hours: Fridays 10 am to 6 pm Saturdays 9 am to 5 pm Sundays 10 am to 4 pm* * * * Merchants:<http://pittsburghpublicmarket.org/for-customers/vendor-schedule/> Every Friday (10 am to 6 pm), Saturday (9 am to 5 pm) and Sunday (10 am to 4 pm), year-round, you’ll find: Babouche Blighty Baklava Company Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh Christopher’s Collages Clark's Chocolates <http://www.clarkcandies.com/> ** Clarion River Organics Cosimano e Ferrari Crested Duck Charcuterie East End Brewing Company (opens at 11:00am Sundays) Ekh Espresso Specialty Foods Four Paws Barkery Fudgie Wudgie Glades Pike Winery (opens at 11:00am Sundays) Goddessware Gosia’s Pierogies Horizon View Farms Iron Eden Jenn’s Jems Jewelry and Accessories Kahila’s Island Taste LaPrima Espresso Company Pittsburgh Marshmallow Factory Rise Above Bakery Rowdy BBQ Sito’s Foods Sustenance Rustic Craft Bakery Third Day Luxury Soap Tupelo Honey Teas Along with the above merchants, Fridays will have: Miller Family Farm Always Summer Herbs (occasionally) In addition to the year-round lineup, Saturdays will be buzzing with: Mushrooms for Life The Berry Patch Morning Dew Orchards Always Summer Herbs Goose Creek Gardens, Ltd.
