Listen up! Just because the pizza restaurant people are from New York don't always expect the pizza will be good. There are plenty of awful pizza restaurants in New York. I know, I lived there most of my life. This place is just mediocre and I don't eat there any more.

I'm definitely partial to South Side Works -- I have been working in one of the office buildings here for 2 1/2 years -- but it's sad to hear about the shops that were once here and to see the shops that are continuing to close. Since I started working here, Nine West, Steve Madden, Joseph Beth Booksellers, and Tusca (wine and tapas restaurant) have closed. All of these closures were a blow to me. Tusca was an office happy hour favorite, and Joseph Beth Booksellers was a fantastic place to browse and pick up a last minute greeting card or present. I also like both Nine West and Steve Madden shoes, so having both of those shoe stores closing within months of one another was a major disappointment. I like getting out and about in SSW once or twice each week during my lunch breaks. They have three hot spot restaurants frequented by a lot of local employees - Qdoba, Pita Pit, and Subway, but I'm personally not a fan of any of these options. My favorite lunch spot is The Cheesecake Factory. I also like going to Claddagh and Hofbrauhaus for a drink and appetizer after work. Of course, SSW does still have a few shops left. REI is fantastic for winter apparel and for the outdoor enthusiast. I personally like shopping at Aerie, Urban Outfitters, and Forever XXI. This Aerie store is one of three full-sized stores in the city, with the other locations being Robinson and South Hills Village. I have been most impressed with the staff at this location compared to the service I've received in the other stores. I believe it's also the largest store of the three. This Urban Outfitters also seems to be a pretty large store. They do a good job of greeting customers while I'm normally ignored in other Urban Outfitters. Though this Forever XXI is on the small side, I always have good luck finding product here, while quickly becoming overwhelmed in huge locations while the one in Ross Park. Though a random spot for this store in my opinion, I have also grown to love Sur La Table. Yes, they're pricey, but they have great products that you can't find anywhere else. Overall, I enjoy SSW and am happy to work within walking distance of all of these shops and restaurants. However, if I didn't work here and have free parking at any time, I would be more likely to only rate this shopping area only 3 stars.

My last and final comments on the matter: I gave them credit for being honest, however with that comes with FILLING THE OBLIGATIONS you make during our call. Clearly, once you thought I was placated you simple slid me back over into the ignore pile. Shame on you Upward Projects....... It wasn't that HARD just do what you say your going to do, less people will get angry if you do. Lance

We absolutely love Hofbrauhaus, and always make it a point to swing by here whenever we're in vegas. Nothing beats a cold stein of Dunkelweis and a plate of Jagerschnitzel acoompanied by live German bands and 30 foot horns!
