AMPD Brings 'Burgh Favorites to

the North Shore
If you haven't yet made it out to your first Bucco's game this
season, there's also a chance you haven't had the opportunity to
visit Federal Street's two newest restaurants: Local Brewhouse
and Steel Cactus PNC.
The new North Shore eateries are owned by Pittsburgh's premier
entertainment and hospitality management company, AMPD
group, and have already proven to be many Pittsburghers'
favorite lunch, dinner, and nightlife destinations.
Steel Cactus PNC is
AMPD's third Steel
Cactus location, and
Local Brewhouse is a
North Shore spin-off of
a South Side favorite,
Local Bar + Kitchen.
Both Local Brewhouse
and Steel Cactus PNC
bring to the North
Shore all of the
elements that patrons
love about the original
locations, such as the
floor-to-ceiling
windows, with a few
new twists to
accommodate the
wide range of
customers in the area. One of AMPD's goals for expanding these
brands into the North Shore is to service local businesses by
offering a fun and friendly and social lunch atmosphere, as well
as catering options.
Local Brewhouse features a limited version of the Local Bar +
Kitchen menu, with favorites such as their Grilled Cheese
Cheeseburger and the Buffalo Chicken Dip appetizer. Guests enjoy
a vibrant atmosphere and rustic aesthetic similar to the South
Side eatery, in addition to a new private party room that can be
rented for events.
Steel Cactus PNC has the same fun and funky vibe that
Pittsburghers have come to expect from the brand, and its
outdoor bar and patio make it a great lunch destination. Pirates

outdoor bar and patio make it a great lunch destination. Pirates

fans can even order select menu items from inside of the
stadium.
AMPD Group hopes that bringing the Local and Steel Cactus
brands to the North Shore will also create an atmosphere of yearround nightlife in an area that has been historically characterized
as a game-time destination. So if you've only thought of the
North Shore as a pre- and post-game spot, think again! Game or
no game, make Local Brewhouse and Steel Cactus PNC your next
stop.

Beautifying Downtown
Opened in 1939 in the Union Trust Building by Larry Morris and
Harry Slesinger, Larrimor's has become the pinnacle of fashion for
the Downtown area. Larrimor's continues to earn Esquire
Magazine's "Best of Class" recognition year after year and is the
only Downtown retailer to do so. The key to success of his
prestigious business, according to co-owner Tom Michael, is
"great fashion and great customer service."
Now, Larrimor's is embarking on a new journey to further expand
the realm of the Downtown shopping experience.
"We think that two things we need Downtown are a MedExpress
and a makeup store," Michael said.
Larrimor's is actively working to make one of those wishes a
reality with their Bring More Beauty to Downtown Pittsburgh
initiative. The store has started a petition to open a cosmetics
store Downtown. Once the petition gets 1,000 signatures,
Larrimor's plans to forward a letter and the petition to stores like
Ulta and Sephora.
The petition can be signed either in store or online.
With such projects as Bring More Beauty to Downtown Pittsburgh
and Fashion Week Downtown, along with a resurgence of people
moving back to the core of the city, Michael is excited about the
direction that Downtown retail is headed.
"I think we have a very dynamic Downtown today," he said. "We
think Downtown is more vibrant than it was five years ago or
seven years ago. We only see positive things coming."

Happy Birthday, Pittsburgh!

"The Official Burger of

March 18th, 2016 marked the 200th anniversary of Pittsburgh's

incorporation as a city of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In

Commision has lined up several celebratory events for this
weekend.
The Bicentennial festivities will kick off at Heinz History Center on
Friday, July 8th with the Bicentennial Birthday Bash. The event
begins at 7:00 p.m. and will feature food by Common Plea
Catering, a cash bar, and live music including The Move Makers
Band, Etta Cox Jazz Trio, The Billy Price Band, and Joe Grushecky
and The Houserockers.
The Heinz History Center's six floors of exhibitions will be open
for guests to view and explore, and a new exhibition will also be
unveiled, Pittsburgh: A Tradition of Innovation. Guests must be
21+, and tickets can be purchased online from the Heinz History
Center.
The fun continues Downtown on Saturday, July 9th with the
Bicentennial Parade and Showcase, in commemoration of the day

The parade will begin at 11:00 a.m. on Liberty Avenue at 11th

Sal's City Deli

245 Seventh St.
Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15222
Order now: 412-434-1100

Quality meats, fresh produce

and incredible breads
The only thing better than a Sal's sandwich
or a fresh cup of warm soup is the
company you can enjoy down at Sal's City
Deli.
We're located in the Cultural District of
Pittsburgh, so you can enjoy a matinee
and stop by for a sandwich. Or you can
simply catch up with friends, watch the
good 'ole black and gold bring home
another win and enjoy the great tastes at
Sal's.

The Pittsburgh Bicentennial Commission intends for the parade to

represent Pittsburgh's past, present, and future. Participants will
include representatives from the various cultures and major
historical events of Pittsburgh's first 200 years and over 100 local
Pittsburgh organizations, such as the Carnegie Museums of Art
and History, Carnegie Library of Pittsburgh, the YMCA Greater
Pittsburgh, and the Pittsburgh Rotary.
The Bicentennial Showcase will take place in Market Square from
12:30 to 2:30 p.m., where parade participants will perform and
showcase their many talents. The night will end at Point State
Park, for a concert at 6:00 p.m., where guests can enjoy live
music by several country, jazz, rock and oldies bands, followed by
a fireworks display at 9:30.
Make your way Downtown this weekend to celebrate Pittsburgh's
special day with some food, some tunes, some fun, and a whole
lot of history!
