Guidebook for Pittsburgh
Essentials
Cheap, mostly generic branded groceries, with quirks. You need a quarter (refundable) to get a shopping cart, and to bring or buy your own grocery bags (I have some you can use). They were cash/debit only, but I believe have recently changed to accept credit cards.

Whole Foods Market

Standard grocery store, most popular in Pittsburgh, but not necessarily the cheapest. Has a beer/limited wine store inside, which is notable as PA has some odd rules on the sale of alcohol.

This is a charming area of mixed storefronts including Italian grocery stores, bars, restaurants, and shopping. Some of the bars have live bands at night. If you walk from the apartment down Liberty Ave in this direction, it becomes a steady stream of things to do/see/eat.

Ellsworth is one of the best spots locally for night life. It has a mix of casual bars/restaurants, as well as some more sophisticated places. A few artsy shops are open during the day. This area includes the Bites & Brews, 1947 Tavern, Soba, and Umi restaurants that I've mentioned.

I think the food here has slipped a little in the past couple years, but the beer is still good and the site, an actual church, brewing stills on the altar, is neat.

My favorites here are the fresh roasted coffee beans and mochas, but most of their drinks are quite good. This is a great place to sit down at as it has a fireplace in the winter and an open garage door wall of windows in the summer.
