If you go on a Saturday morning while at the Bloomfield market, this place might look a little…read morecrazy! They serve soup (obviously), salads and sandwiches. People seem to go a little crazy for the sandwiches but alas I can't have them since I'm gluten free. They are very good about labeling their offerings so it's easy to figure out what's gluten free, vegan and vegetarian. I got the bean and chorizo soup and took some split pea soup to freeze (it's my favorite soup). The soup came out pipping hot that I had to wait a while before eating it. However it was good, not too spicy. My friend had a the girlfriend sandwich and it looked super yummy. They have limited seating so you might have to get it to go! They have some cute antiques in there, definitely a retro vibe.

I thought this Christmas pop up bar was really cute! I honestly wasn't sure what to expect,…read moreespecially because we were going to Greenfield for it. I ran the Greenfield Glide 5k when I was younger, and that was pretty much all I knew about Greenfield. We drove down the street that was lined with lit up Christmas trees and saw Hough's Bar on the corner. The pop up was located right next door. We found a parking spot easily and headed in. The space was exactly what the photos and videos looked like. It was super cute and they had lots of fun backdrops for photo opps. The workers were dressed up like elves, and the girl running it was so cheery and excited. She checked our tickets and IDs, and gave us a glass of mulled wine. It was piping hot and very strong. I watched her pour it into the crockpot so you could tell it was fresh. I never drink mulled wine so it was a nice festive treat. We took photos in front of the trees, gifts, on the couches, etc. They had holiday music playing, but I wish it would've been louder. It was a quiet atmosphere and people found tables to stand by and chat. I expected this bar to be jam packed, but there were very few people there since it was timed. They had printouts of emojis that were Christmas movie riddles on the center table. If you answered all of them you could take your sheet to the bar for a prize. Their cocktail menu was fun and holiday themed, of course. They also had dessert shots and non alcoholic hot chocolate. We stayed for about an hour and enjoyed our time there. I would definitely go back if they do it again next year!

Major let-down. The advertising for this place looked magical. Bought tickets for a 90-minute spot…read morefor four. Upon arrival, you're given 1/2 small plastic cup of mulled wine that tasted almost medicinal from the cheap booze. Decor looked nothing like the advertising images! There were maybe 4 places to sit and the people who arrived early claimed them and never moved. Cool. Now, as for the bar part... Limited menu, but that was fine because drinks looked interesting. We ordered 3 cocktails ($15 each) and one person ordered a beer (only 2 to choose from), which he was informed they were out of and didn't know when it would be replaced...This was at 3pm on a Saturday. Oof. Cocktails were served in those teeny tiny plastic coupe glasses--the kind you could get at Fineberg's in the strip. They hold mayyybe 4 oz? They tasted fine, but for $15, I expect more than 4 oz. There were silly games on the table, like writing down the "naughtiest" thing you'd done that year. You can choose to participate or not. Fine. But then, one woman dressed as an elf gets on a microphone and announces we're about to do karaoke--whether we want to or not. She says she will shove the mic in your face and you have to sing. Ummm, I did not pay for tickets to get in and overpriced elf-sized cocktails to be forced to do karaoke at 3pm. Ugh. We left after 15 mins total. Do not recommend. Avoid this gimmicky place that's just taking your cash. Many better Christmas bars out there!

I literally stumbled upon Shop PG&H on one of my last trips to Pittsburgh…read more What I love the most about this place is everything is coming from local artists. They sell pottery, crafts, art and sculptures, wallpaper, apparel and more. Occasionally they will have a maker take over where a local maker does a pop up shop in part of the store and you can learn more about their products. I was really impressed with the quality of the goods and really loved the products made overall. If I had more space in my luggage I would have loaded up for sure. This is a great concept and much needed store in the city.

Honey So Good is an apiary that has over a dozen honeybee hives in Allegheny, Beaver, and Butler…read morecounties. According to the business's website, they originally started honeybee hives in the garden of a local church, and then they added more beehives to support the honeybee population. Their honeys include the following: Spring Light (dandelion, buttercup, nettle, fruit tree, and clover), Summer Light Amber (wild cherry, tulip, and milk weed), Fall Light (clover, alfalfa, and sunflower), Fall Dark Amber (goldenrod), Fall Dark (Japanese knotweed), and Creamed Honey (mixed-flower spread). Honey So Good sells their honeys at seasonal festivals, farmers markets, through some local stores. I purchased one Summer Light Amber honey, which tasted very sweet, and one Fall Dark honey, which tasted very rich and deep. I encourage you to purchase Honey So Good's honeys to support their small business and to help the honeybees.

Current flavors include pork and onion, pork and cabbage, chicken shishito, coconut chicken, shrimp, mushroom and tofu, mushroom and black bean, etcetera. The dumplings are available for pickup at the business, and they are also sold through farmers markets and Pittsburgh-area pop-up shops. The prices are reasonable. I have bought the chicken shishito dumplings, pork and cabbage dumplings, shrimp dumplings, cheese wontons, and dipping sauce. All of these foods were fresh and tasted good, but my favorites were definitely the chicken shishito dumplings and the dipping sauce. My husband commented that he likes the chicken shishito dumplings better than many other businesses' dumplings.
