Wild Rosemary Review – Family Style Italian Dining

Wild Rosemary closed in October 2025.

We always love a good prix fixe dinner experience, as they can make for a great way to taste around a restaurant's menu.

But some restaurants only offer prix fixe dining, and Wild Rosemary in Upper Saint Clair is one such spot. But they take this one even further by serving things family style, meaning you are in for a fun evening with new friends, and a whole lot of food.

So check the monthly menu to see what is on, and dive into the feast here!

The Storyville Lounge Offers a Speakeasy and Distillery

We've been awaiting the public opening of The Storyville Lounge in Allentown for many years.

This gorgeous speakeasy space was built several years ago and used for private events (with open houses during the bi-annual Allentown Night Market– when we would historically visit). But it was only recently that they expanded to maintain regular hours.

So in early 2025, we made our way back to Allentown to check out The Storyville Lounge, Conjure Bar, and more. For those who like housemade spirits, delicious takes on classics, and a stunning speakeasy ambiance, this one is for you!

A Guide to Pittsburgh Farmers Markets and Artisan Pop-Ups

When it comes to seasonal markets, Pittsburgh does them quite well. Hardly a week goes by in the spring, summer, and fall without a pop-up event- be it a weekly farmers market, monthly artist roundup, or a neighborhood yard sale.

As with everything on our site, it has been our mission to visit all of these markets over the years.

After visiting many, we realized that not all of them necessarily warrant their own article. So we decided to do things a little different for this topic and compiled a selection of all of our favorites to share the important information you need to know before you go!

Gandy Dancer Saloon is a Timeless Classic in Station Square

When we visit Station Square, odds are good it is for brunch at the opulent Grand Concourse– a former train hub converted into a fine dining restaurant. 

But did you know this space also has an equally historic (and beautiful) bar known as the Gandy Dancer Saloon? Next time you're in Station Square looking for a beverage, check this one out for the vibe as much as the drinks and food (oh, and their killer happy hour, too!)

Anthrocon’s Fursuit Parade and Block Party is a Ton of Fun

Out of all of the conferences that come to Pittsburgh, Anthrocon is one of the most unique and interesting. 

The conference is for fur suit enthusiasts, or furries, and has been coming to Pittsburgh every year since 2006. That year, 2,489 furries descended on the city for the event, and in 2024, the conference ballooned to over 17,639 participants!

Although the convention itself is primarily designed for those interested in the community, there are many opportunities for outsides to get to meet with visitors, see their incredible fur suits up close, and welcome them to the community.

But one of our favorites is Anthrocon's fursuit parade, which involves a massive promenade around the David L. Lawrence Convention Center. So, let's talk a bit more about it in this one!

Whisper Offers Classic Wines, Dessert, and More Downtown

We always love it when a new wine-forward bar opens in Pittsburgh, and when we heard that Bridges & Bourbon was opening Whisper, a self-described wine and dessert bar, we knew we had to visit shortly after opening.

As it turns out, this one actually has a robust menu of cocktails, wines, shareable savory foods, and dessert, all centered around classic recipes and wine brands you may recognize. This comes together for a bar with a high-end ambiance much like its sister bar next door and a welcoming sense of the familiar when reading the menu.
