I hopped the bus and headed to the strip yesterday. I love the strip district with all its shops and restaurants. I shopped the produce stands yesterday and made a huge haul of salad staples that should keep me eating green for a week.
The strip is something I am so going to miss when I leave Pittsburgh later this year. It is filled with all sorts of ethnic stores. I cannot visit the strip without hitting Penn Mac for some cheese and pasts. I swing by Kim Bok for some tofu and red pepper paste or maybe some bok choi or pick up some unusual ingredient suggested by the lady who works there. I love Wholey's because it has every seafood related item imaginable and it is all so fresh - yumm! And for the sweet tooth there is Fugie Wudgie for the richest fudge on the planet!
I met a friend for lunch at Rolands and we had some yummy fried seafood and tasty beers. It was a bit too cold to sit outside, but we sat by the window to check out the foot traffic and judge others as they walked by. On warm days many of the restaurants in the strip have huge sliding doors that open up to let the outdoors in - such fun!
The best part of the day is that I can shop, eat, drink and then wither hop the bus home or take a stroll. Since coming back to Pittsburgh in January I have used my car very little. In fact, I have purchased one tank of gas in close to 4.5 months. I will miss that too!!
Tonight is a Pirates game and more drinks! Go Bucs!!!
