antoons?

It's one thing to get an antoon's pizza....its another thing to save it for lunch the next day...

[pittsoccer33]

if you saw a little white scooter parked right out in front that was probably mine...

this one yours?

[Troy Loney]

This is what the little bugger looks like...

[Letang Is The Truth]

lol i drive by CBW all the time and i've seen that before out front

[pittsoccer33]

ah i do remember the ruckus thread. my girlfriend is looking to go to grad school at chatham and wants a scooter. is it powerful enough to get her up the hill from the southside?

[Troy Loney]

lol i drive by CBW all the time and i've seen that before out front

YES!!!!

My friend has the same one....have you driven past when they're both out there?

[schreibdog]

Willow on Camp Horne Road in the North Hills is an upscale place with very good food.

I second the Willow recommendation. The food is quite good.

Gali in Pleasant Hills is a great little mom-and-pop-shop for authentic Greek food. Their gyros are the best I've had.

[pittsoccer33]

i'd also like to add my recommendation for Buffalo Bills in New Kensington. I'll drive up from the city sometimes and get a bucket of those for hockey games. They aren't fried, they're broiled and i think the taste is infintely better than anyone else's.

I can;t recall but I remember scooters. I will be on the lookout now

Thats a 49cc scooter, which you don't need a motorcycle license to drive. I'm not sure if thats somethine she wants to go through or not.

And yeah...i live in shady side, and my friend that also has a ruckus lives near south side works, and we go back and forth pretty freely....although going up bates i need to stay to the right so people can pass going up the hill...but it holds about 25 mph up the entire hill.

how much do they cost?

Another place that I really like is Mad Mex.

Good beer selection (especially at the Robinson location...though the others are certainly nothing to scoff at) and solid Mexican food along with some very interesting faux-Mex selections (Wing-O-Rito is my favorite...rice, black beans, chicken and chicken wing sauce inside, and salsa and blue cheese on the outside).

Rock Bottom on the Waterfront has seemed to have pretty good dishes (you'd have to in order to keep up there), and beer that competes with anything else in the city; I mostly brought them up to urge beer lovers to go there, as it always seems to be a missed place in the Pittsburgh beer scene.

[K2]

Mad Mex is awesome. I recommend avoiding the Oakland location though. Too small.

tusca in the southside works i heard was awesome. i went to a tapas similar place on shadyside and it was not good at all.

my g/f took me to "green forest cafe" for my birthday. that place was freakin awesome. i love meat. and getting it cut off onto my plate was awsome. expensive but worth it. maybe 25 bucks? 28?

Did you go to La Casa? But if you like tapas i wouldtotally recommend Tusca. Their pizzas are terrific too as is the sangria

ya i went to La Casa. it was on the horrible side of rankings. sangria was not good, to sour/sweet, over priced and all of their dishes (we all got like 12 different ones) none of them were good at all, tiny portions, and over priced. some of those same people went to the place in Southside works and said it was 10x better. mentioned the pizza as well.

[PenguinSteve-o]

Hofbräuhaus is next on my list. heard nothing but good things from food and beer. food a little pricey for certain things.

[Letang Is The Truth]

ya tusca >>>>>>>> la casa. and mad mex also has rockin happy hours. I would actually recommend any big burrito restaurant: mad mex, kaya, eleven, casbah, soba, umi. all very solid

$2500 new....i spent $1400 for used 2006 w/300 miles.

It's like the civic for scooters....reliable, practical, and reasonably priced....i'd never spend like $4K for a scooter

Doc's place in Shadyside. Bar/restaurant. Best club sandwhich i ever had. and people say their pizza is awesome. thats all, dont live downtown.

i love docs. also elbow room on ellsworth has a roast turkey, melted brie, grilled apples, and spicy dijon sandwich. heavenly

You're making me hungry. I haven't been to Shadyside since I was dating a woman who lived over that. I loved the bars up there. Guess i need to go back

[Shyster]

I've heard about this all you can eat sushi buffet...i think i'd like to see just how much sushi i can eat.

Remember, "all you can eat" means "eat all you can."

Shadyside and sq hill are pretty stocked with cool places to eat....the area is just kind of filled with different ethnic varieities...i'd include like oakland and bloomfield with them too.
