🍾 Lebanese Wine & Meze Tasting

There’s still time to buy your ticket to enjoy Massaya’s Lebanese wine paired tasty bites from Pita My Shawarma on their Lawrenceville patio this Saturday from 4 to 6 p.m. Grab a seat for $30, and relax with tunes by Feral Cat.

🍻 Brand New Beer Garden

Trace Brewing, Necromancer Brewing, and Pittsburgh Mobile Bars are opening a new summer beer garden Saturday, July 1 at 8th and Penn in the Cultural District.

🍉 Very Important Margaritas

Soluna in the Strip District is bringing back its VIP Margarita night on Sunday, July 2 from 4 to 8 p.m. Reservations are limited. Snag your spot to taste them all.

🥯 These Bagels Are Everything

Pigeon Bagels in Squirrel Hill made it on Bon Appetit’s list of best bagels in the United States. It’s no surprise to locals. The 100% kosher biz always has long lines waiting to get a taste of their whitefish, fig, and honey schmear, or their vegan carrot lox.

🏆 Pittsburgh Baking Champion

Congrats to pastry chef Zoe Peckich of Ritual House in Downtown for winning the Food Network’s Summer Baking Championship. The 27-year-old Canon-McMillan grad competed against 10 bakers for a $25,000 prize. Check the episode listings, or tune in today at 9 a.m. to see her take the cake.
