Hot Spot: Bartram House Bakery

-
This week’s Pittsburgh hot spot is Bartram House Bakery! I love this place so much because their locations have a cozy, authentic feel and great pastries as well as great salads. It is a great place to go for a morning treat, or your lunch meeting. Even if you are feeding a crowd, their quiche is delicious and great for when you are hosting a brunch.


When it comes to the sweets, they do custom cakes as well as small treats like French macarons. And just so that you can get your fix no matter where you live in Pittsburgh, they have three locations: Southside, Wexford, and McMurray. They are a family business that was founded in 2008, but they have been baking since 1976. Their business becomes even more impressive when you know they serve three meals a day, and make more than 100 different desserts and cakes!

This week’s Pittsburgh hot spot is Cioppino's Restaurant & Cigar Bar! I love this place so much because the staff is amazing and will cater to your every need. If you are there for a special occasion and make a reservation in advance, they will even make custom keepsake menus for your table. the food is always delicious, and whether you are in the restaurant, lounge, or cigar bar, the menu is phenomenal.  The cigar bar is attached to the restaurant and lounge, and is a gorgeous wood clad escape. Even if you do not partake in cigars, you shouldn't hesitate to spend time there because the ventilation is impressive and the bar fixture is a sight to see. They strive for a true experience, and also have valet parking, and live music in the lounge Thursdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. I have personally been there for date nights, birthdays, and even to celebrate a dear friend's engagement. This is one of my personal favorites!

What is owning a home? That may seem like an odd question because most people expect the question of why, instead of what. There are many statistics, financial figures, benefits, and freedoms in owning a home. These are all easily found. What is harder to find is what it is like to own your own home. When my husband and I bought our home about a year ago, we had no idea what to expect. We were long time renters like most people our age, and I wish that I had known more of the what with the why. What I have found is that owning your home is extremely liberating. It is your space to do anything you wish. You can paint the walls any color and put as many holes in the walls as you would like. You are free to updated every single room with fancy fixtures or keep them neat and simple. Everything is up to your discretion and that is an amazing feeling. Being a home owner can also be stressful. It is not fun when your furnace stops working in the middle of winter or there is a leak in your
