Pittsburgh Restaurant Week

Sure, the best-known regional dish involves French fries on a sandwich, but Pittsburgh Restaurant Week is on a mission to prove that the Steel City’s collective palate is more sophisticated than that.

The semi-annual event begins with a kick-off party at Bill Chisnell Productions on Penn Ave in the Strip District at 6 PM on January 9, during which the participating restaurants entice potential diners with free samples of their dishes. The official week of the restaurant starts on January 13 and lasts until the 19^th.

During those seven days of gastrological delight, Pittsburghers can reserve their tables at participating restaurants for three-course prix fixe meals or $20.14 specials. It’s an opportunity for local eateries to showcase their specialties and for diners to experience them at a discounted price.

Restaurant locations range from Monroeville to Cranberry, but most are located in the city. Many are even within walking distance of Nexus Real Estate apartments.
