I love forgotten taste and I can't say I've had a bad meal there yet. S&D is also good.
With the passing of old immigrant babas in the city as time naturally goes its hard to find that true good taste. You used to be able to get it everywhere like church and street fairs where they made it in their own kitchens. But these places hold up pretty well.
-someone who grew up eating family recipes as well as this food made by babas and my own.
Edit: op literally named two of the places I would've sent someone.

Hmmmm. Where I come from and where I currently live a lot of stuff keeps weird hours and stuff because of Easter. Thought I’d check. Also PA has super-weird laws about stuff like alcohol so figured they might have some other weird laws.
Anyway, thanks for the warm welcome. Prick.

I can’t remember the exact time but couple years ago my power went out for north of 56 hours. Don’t open your fridge or freezer when your power is out and it’ll stay cold for a shockingly long time.
After we got notice power wasn’t going to be on for a while after 12 hours we started using coolers and what not with ice.
Duquesne light won’t take responsibility for any of your food loss by the way. They will direct you to use your insurance.

Reply to Tell me about Magisterial District Judge candidate Casey Mullen, please! by pedantic_comments
I don’t know much about Casey Mullen. But I also want to give a bump to Rachel Rosnick. I volunteered at a youth organization for years with Rachel and she is such an incredible advocate. I used to live in the district, but moved a few years ago so I can’t vote in this race - but I’m really rooting for her.

No, used as in 60's, 70's, 80' and 90's too.... Nice big section of 80's new wave, and 70's classic rock. I fill in a lot of my collection with stuff from there.

Tom Fridays has really good kielbasa or Silver Star Meats. You can also hit up Pierogies Plus while your out that way like others mentioned.

They think that a lot of stores and restaurants might be closed due to a federal/bank holiday. It’s not a crazy thought, since, historically, a lot of stores and restaurants close for Easter.

Lamperts, in McKeesport, has the best kielbasa and other salted, cured meats. No doubt. Peirogis Plus is great, they have sweet and savory selections. Enjoy!

If the power's been out long enough that the food in your fridge/freezer went bad, call your homeowner's insurance.
Most homeowner policies have a rider that they'll pay for food spoilage for power outages. Two (?) summers ago we were without power for 10 hours or so and had to toss out everything, right after a major stock up trip, which sucked, but sucked a lot less when we got a reimbursement check after a simple 15 minute phone call.

I don’t shop at Eide’s because back when I was a kid, they sold white supremacist records. Had a whole section for Resistance Records products and everything. Maybe it isn’t like that anymore, but I have no desire to find out.

the stuff that got fixed early in the night was stuff they could do at the substation -- replacing transformers, etc. that blew out there.

What? They don’t have anything newer than 1980 and their “metal section” is like seven Poison albums.

You forgot about telling her about the children with ak-47's that are out to avenge their parents in the orphanages. Those are the fuckers you need to watch out for.
