Problem: Must have been an off night. My app was a tad fishy, duck and veal main courses looked the same and were mixed up on presentation. Food was slow to be delivered in general. Sides came after we finished meal. Spinach side was a little bitter. Veal was tough. Presentation was nice. Staff friendly. Desserts were fabulous and comped. All's well that ends well.

Problem: I just don't spend enough time in Bloomfield. And as if I didn't know it, leave it to Rachel C to put together another great Yelp event to remind me of just how awesome this city is. I find myself forgetting how special some of Pittsburgh neighborhoods are and how many hidden gems can be found in each. Places like Groceria Italia, Angelo's Pizza, Donatelli's and Maria Merante's were shown to us (among other things like architecture and historic buildings) by our guides Richard and Sylvia of Burgh, Bits and Bites Tours. Special Pittsburgh places shown to us by amazing Pittsburgh folks? Yes, please! Groceria Italia is off the main drag in Bloomfield, but that's no excuse as to why I've never been there. Meeting the owner and hearing her story was almost as good as her pasta and meatballs. Angelo's may be "famous for being famous" but their thin crust pizza speaks for itself. Maria Merante's offers unique items along with some lovely pastries but upstairs is where Maria herself offers cooking classes and dinners in a cozy apartment. I wouldn't mind spending an evening with Maria in the future! I've actually been to Donatelli's before for some pasta and deli items but it's always a pleasure to see a face behind the store name. The second part of our day was a trip to Church Brew Works with Jake from PA Brew Tours. I am somewhat jealous that Jake not only had this idea but actually made it a reality. I often plan trips around breweries and the thought of having a designated driver and an organized tour is a genius idea. Church Brew Works was very generous with the beer but we were unable to meet the brewers or get a tour which was kind of a bummer...and then the van that dropped us off abandoned us. In the meantime it was nice to sit and chat with fellow Yelpers over a few beers. Overall I had a great time and discovered many places where I will return in the Bloomfield neighborhood. Seeing what Burgh, Bits and Bites and PA Brew Tours have to offer was great. Another win for Rachel!

Problem: It's just Ice Cream... 4 bucks for a 12 oz blizzard is crazy.. For that money I should have gone to a creamery and had something higher quality...
