Yeah, I hear most people call it Deutschtown, or sometimes even just "East Ohio Street." There's a big music festival there every summer, and some cute shops along E Ohio. Threadbare Cider is nearby. It's a good location to be near things. Sometimes crime happens nearby, but it's rarely random attacks on people minding their business. It can get sketch up there at night, though, so y'know. Like any city, just be alert if you're walking back home late.

You just have to wait longer between buses. I go up to Mt. Washington pretty frequently, and to get back to the East End, I have to catch a bus that comes once every hour, and transfer in Downtown to a bus that comes every 45 minutes.

If I were going from Downtown to Oakland or vice-versa, I could catch a bus in 5-10 mins. almost every time.

Szechuan Spice is right there, too, and so flavorful (even if it still looks like the 1970s inside). That Giant Eagle gets mad foot traffic; people need to be hitting up the restaurants around it.

At Nak Won's price point, that is totally fair. We went despite the reviews because we wanted that specific cuisine, and it's been awesome.

Oh, sometimes the food comes out at different times, too, rather than everyone at the table being served together. I can see some people thinking that's "bad service," but they just serve it when it's ready; the kitchen isn't huge.

Yeah, sorry, Union Grill JUST announced remodeling.

While I have you on the horn:

  • Aviary for entertainment
  • Sienna Mercato for meatballs and beers

Beyond that, I'm like tremendously boring, I'm afraid. But I think the kids would like both spots.
