Balvanera brings the energy of Buenos Aires to Pittsburgh’s Strip District with a menu rooted in Argentine tradition and shaped by global technique. Opened in NYC in 2014 and arriving in Pittsburgh in 2023, the restaurant is led by acclaimed Argentine chef Fernando Navas and Pittsburgh native Meredith Boyle.

The Indian Street Food ghost kitchen, Mild 2 Spicy, is relocating downtown!  Opening their brick-and-mortar storefront at 951 Liberty Ave., we are excited to welcome them to the downtown food lineup.  Mild 2 Spicy will move in where Bae Bae’s Café previously sat for the last few years, and new owner Shalin Patel is ready to make some changes.

Some dishes don’t need hype. They just speak for themselves. The Barbacoa Burrito at Taco Guapo is one of them.

The beef is slow-cooked to perfection, juicy, tender, and full of rich, authentic flavor 🤌 Every bite is satisfying without being heavy, and the portion is generous enough to keep you full long after the last bite. It is comfort food done right.

Fifth Avenue Place, which sits on the corner of Stanwix Street and Penn Avenue, is welcoming downtown’s newest restaurant: ELIA Mediterranean Grille. At their current location in Warrendale, ELIA brings some of the best Mediterranean flavors to Pittsburgh, and having them downtown is going to be so special for the community.
